PureSense Installs Soil Moisture Monitoring Station at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo

FRESNO, Calif., Dec. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- PureSense Environmental Inc. recently installed its soil moisture monitoring equipment at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

Each installation includes soil moisture and weather monitoring hardware, access to the PureSense Irrigation Manager™ software, and PureSense service and support.
