✦Description of Soil Moisture Sensor

‌The core principle of soil moisture sensor is to infer the water content of soil based on measuring the dielectric constant of soil. ‌ This method takes advantage of the property that the dielectric constant of soil changes with the change of water content, including frequency domain reflection FDR, time domain reflection TDR, time domain transmission TDT, etc. Soil moisture sensor mainly consists of battery module, transmitter module, data processing module, and compensation module. The transmitter module converts the sensed water volume signal into an electrical signal, and the data processing module processes and analyzes the collected data, and transmits it back to the central processor through the transmission device, so that users can make feedback based on the soil moisture content. Soil moisture sensor can be inserted into the soil surface to detect the surface soil moisture, or it can be buried deep underground to detect the deep soil moisture.

✦Advantages of Soil Moisture Sensor

1. The sensor shell is made of high-quality material, which is strong, waterproof and durable. The probe can withstand long-term electrolysis, acid and alkali corrosion, reliable performance, and can adapt to various soil types. 2. The operation temperature range is -30-70, and it can withstand harsh natural environments 3. The soil moisture sensor can measure the soil moisture content in real time, continuously and accurately, and is not affected by factors such as soil type and temperature changes. It has high measurement accuracy, an error of ±2%, and a high operation frequency of 100-500MHZ, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the measurement data. 4. According to the needs of different agricultural production scenarios, soil moisture sensors can be integrated with other types of sensors (such as temperature, light, EC value sensors, etc.) to build a comprehensive soil environment monitoring system. 5. The soil moisture sensor can have intelligent functions and be used in conjunction with supporting equipment to send real-time monitoring data to the monitoring platform for users to view and manage remotely. When the soil moisture reaches the set threshold, the system will immediately trigger an early warning signal, thereby achieving precise irrigation, saving water resources and optimizing crop growth conditions.
