Intelligent Soil Moisture Monitoring Equipment: Enhancing Agricultural Efficiency and Sustainability

Soil moisture refers to the content of water in the soil, which is crucial for plant growth. The humidity of the soil can be measured by several key indicators:

1. Soil saturation water content This refers to the maximum water content that the soil can achieve, where all the pores in the soil are filled with water.

2. Field capacity Also known as the maximum available water, it refers to the maximum amount of water that the soil can retain under natural conditions without being lost due to the force of gravity.

3. Wilting coefficient This refers to the water content in the soil when plants begin to show signs of wilting, that is, the last moisture that plants can still absorb from the soil in a water-deficient state.

Soil moisture monitoring equipment, through the collaborative operation of a monitoring center, communication network, remote monitoring devices, and soil moisture detection equipment, achieves real-time monitoring and management of soil humidity. Thanks to its automated design, the system can operate unattended, reducing manpower needs and increasing efficiency.

The architectural design of soil moisture monitoring equipment has good scalability and can easily add new monitoring points or integrate with other environmental monitoring devices to adapt to changing monitoring needs.

The location information of soil moisture monitoring equipment is combined with digital map technology, allowing management personnel to directly access real-time data of a monitoring point by clicking on a specific marked point on the map, including parameters such as soil humidity, temperature, and conductivity. Through the analysis of real-time data, early warning information can be issued in a timely manner, helping management personnel to respond quickly, thereby taking more targeted irrigation, fertilization, and other measures in agricultural production, optimizing agricultural activities, and reducing risks caused by unsuitable soil moisture.
