Soil temperature sensors

Soil temperature sensors are devices that measure how hot or cold the soil is. They typically use a probe with a temperature-sensitive element, like a thermistor or thermocouple, inserted into the ground. These sensors provide important data for agriculture, gardening, and environmental monitoring, helping determine the best times for planting or assessing soil health. By giving accurate and real-time temperature readings, soil temperature sensors support effective decision-making related to crop growth, irrigation, and ecosystem management.
