The amount of water in the soil is measured or estimated by soil moisture sensors. These sensors can either be fixed or mobile, like handheld probes. Portable soil moisture probes may monitor soil moisture at many sites, in contrast to stationary sensors, which are installed in the field at specified depths and locations.
A soil’s acidity or alkalinity can be measured with a soil pH metre. They operate by monitoring the hydrogen ion activity, which is represented by the hydrogen potential, or “pH.” The pH scale has a range of 0 to 14, where 0 is very acidic, 7 is neutral, and 14 is alkaline.
Farmers can gather information about temperature, rainfall, and other metrics over time to observe trends and anticipate irrigation needs by using soil condition monitoring sensors.
A tool that gauges the current wetness of the soil is called a soil moisture sensor. The irrigation system’s sensors help schedule water supply and distribution considerably more effectively. Such gauges aid in reducing or increasing irrigation for the best possible plant growth.
The global Soil Moisture sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The debut of Monet’s ALTA Soil Moisture Sensor was announced today. The Soil Moisture Sensor informs you on your computer or mobile device how much, when, and where to water your crops or commercial landscaping, ready to fulfil AgriTech market needs.
Farmers, commercial growers, and greenhouse managers can connect their precision irrigation operations to the Internet of Things with the use of the ground moisture sensor (IoT). Using timely soil condition data, our Monnit IoT Sensor offers a highly effective solution to immediately increase irrigation timing and efficiency.
According to the CEO of Monnit Corporation, “They live and work in a remarkable period of connectivity when they can say, “Listen to your crops tell you when to water them,” and that means you get a powerful stream of useful data from the IoT.
The Soil Moisture Sensor from their company “infuses various applications with the vital data insights people need to make faster, more accurate decisions to update their water management.”
Temperature and soil water tension (matric potential) are both measured by the dual-purpose, corrosion-resistant Soil Moisture Sensor. Combining a thermistor-based temperature element and a resistive granular matrix element can assist your growing operations save more water, boost yield, and reduce water stress and nutrient leaching.
Grower’s will be able to monitor the health of their plants at their active root zone throughout the whole crop cycle by knowing the soil moisture at various depths.
Additionally, by using numerous places of measurement, gardeners may gauge the moisture content of various soil strata.
Many Soil Scout clients have unique demands or constraints for their underground soil monitoring requirements, and typically the same problems occur more frequently than others.
According to the manufacturer, the main Hydra sensor manages all radio transmission and may be buried shallowly to provide a greater range. Data is gathered by the second sensor from a deeper portion of the same hole.Customers can now use vertical profiling to prevent fertilizer leaching and maximize the use of their inputs.
This soil moisture sensor kit uses the ATTINY441-SSU chip(RAK12023+RAK12035) and comes with one sensor interface module that can be linked to up to three soil moisture and temperature sensors.
The sensor uses capacitive measurement, and because of its coated sensor element, it is more dependable and durable than sensors that use resistive measuring techniques.
Once a sensor has been calibrated, it may be joined to any WisBlock Core module without having to start a fresh calibration because the calibration data are kept on the sensor element itself. Additionally, the measured data is sent through I2C, which strengthens the system in comparison to sensors that send an analog signal.
SensoTerra wireless soil sensor transmit data from the fields to the farmers via the LoRaWAN network. The Multi Depth sensor, according to SensoTerra, has the same resilience for agricultural use as their Single Depth sensor.
Over the crop, an external antenna is installed. This would greatly enhance communication and enable the Multi Depth sensor to be used with crops that have vast canopies.
Utilize an app or a web interface to access data. A web-based interface or the Sensoterra app may be used by growers to view their cloud-based data. You may incorporate the data into your own data dashboard or system using the company’s API.
