Soil moisture sensors
Soil moisture sensors are devices that measure the amount of water in the soil. They help farmers and gardeners determine when plants need watering, preventing both over- and under-watering. These sensors work by detecting electrical signals, changes in capacitance, or other properties that vary with soil moisture levels. The data they provide can be displayed locally or transmitted to smartphones and computers, allowing for smarter watering decisions. By monitoring soil moisture accurately, these sensors promote healthier plants, conserve water, and improve overall crop or garden management.
