Overview

The Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor is part of Syngenta’s integrated environmental monitoring system and works with the GreenCast® Connect (GCX) platform.

Aero collects above-ground climate data from multiple locations, giving you a clearer picture of how conditions vary across your property.

By monitoring key environmental factors in real time, Aero helps support:

  • More confident, data-driven decision-making

  • Healthier turf management

  • More efficient use of inputs and resources

  • Improved performance across managed areas


What the Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor Measures

Ambient Temperature

  • Collects temperature data across multiple locations on your property to help identify hot spots, frost‑prone areas, and temperature variability between sites.

Humidity

  • Tracks humidity in sensitive or poorly ventilated areas where disease pressure is often elevated.

Atmospheric (Barometric) Pressure

  • Monitors air pressure changes to help you spot incoming weather shifts earlier.


Combine Above‑ and Below‑Ground Insights

For even greater precision, pair Aero™ GCX microclimate sensors with Spiio™ soil sensors to monitor conditions both above and below the surface.

By overlaying soil and ambient data, you can:

  • Identify indicator locations for frost, disease, or drought

  • Evaluate vulnerable areas more accurately

  • Track trends over time

  • Proactively adjust management strategies

This combined view helps you maintain plant quality and consistency across every microclimate on your property.


Seamless Integration with GreenCast® Connect

Aero™ GCX microclimate sensors delivers data from multiple microclimate sensors directly into GreenCast Connect, bringing above-ground climate data together with your existing environmental insights in one place.

When used alongside Spiio soil sensors, Aero adds above-ground conditions to your underground measurements—providing a more complete view of how environmental factors interact across your site.

Within GCX, you can:

  • View real-time and historical microclimate data

  • Customize analytics to focus on the metrics that matter most

  • Generate clear, shareable reports

  • Support decisions with objective, site-specific data


Expandable Sensor Hub

The Aero™ GCX microclimate sensor provides essential ambient data out of the box and is designed to grow with your operation.

You can expand your system by linking additional microclimate sensors, including:

  • Wind sensors

  • Rainfall sensors

  • Macronutrient sensors

This flexibility allows you to focus on the data that matters most for your specific conditions and management goals.


Turn Microclimate Data Into Action

Aero’s precise climate monitoring helps you:

  • Identify indicator sites faster

  • Understand how conditions vary across your property

  • Receive targeted recommendations within GCX

Use Aero data to evaluate frost establishment in low‑lying areas, monitor temperature and humidity in zones with poor air circulation, or pinpoint areas that consistently show early disease symptoms.

Sensors can be used to create a full‑property snapshot or to closely monitor high‑risk, high‑value locations.


Elevate Your Expertise

Backed by years of Syngenta scientific research and global field experience, the Aero™ GCX microclimate sensor supports smarter, more precise turf management.

By delivering reliable environmental insights directly into GCX, Aero helps you optimize resources, improve performance, and act with confidence, no matter how complex your site conditions may be.


Install in Minutes

The Aero™ GCX microclimate sensor is compact, wireless, solar‑powered, and low maintenance. Its small footprint makes it easy to deploy in remote or sensitive areas while still delivering high‑quality, reliable data.

Solar Powered

  • Wireless and compact

  • Minimal ongoing maintenance

  • Designed for continuous, automated data collection


Product Summary

A microclimate sensor that evaluates precise environmental conditions across your property—including temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure—and integrates seamlessly with the GreenCast® Connect mobile app. When combined with Spiio™ GCX soil sensors, Aero provides a comprehensive view of above‑ and below‑ground conditions to support efficient, informed decision‑making.

The future of integrated precision weather—built for every microclimate.
