xFarm Sensors is a comprehensive module within the xFarm platform that enables farmers to monitor environmental conditions, soil moisture, leaf wetness, air quality, and insect infestations in real time. The system integrates a wide range of proprietary and third-party sensors, providing actionable agronomic insights and predictive models for disease, irrigation, and crop protection. Data is visualized on maps, exported for analysis, and used to automate alerts and recommendations.

Features
