EC Sensor
One of the most effective ways to increase productivity and quality in agriculture is the correct management of the nutrients and water that plants need. At this point, EC sensors offer great advantages to producers in both soil-based and soilless agricultural applications. Thanks to EC sensors, the salt concentration of the irrigation water or the solution in the soil can be measured instantly, thus the nutrient and water balance needed by the plant can be precisely controlled.
In this blog post, we will discuss in detail what an EC sensor does, why it is so important in agriculture, the prominent features of the Esular EC sensor (soil and liquid), and its areas of use.
What is EC (Electrical Conductivity)?
EC, or Electrical Conductivity, is the value that measures the amount of dissolved salts in a liquid. In agricultural production, the EC value represents the nutrient density in the soil or irrigation water.
If the EC value is too low, plants cannot be nourished sufficiently. If it is high, root burn and salt stress are observed. Therefore, EC monitoring is quite important for balanced and healthy plant development.
The Role of EC Monitoring in Fertilization and Irrigation
The way to increase productivity in modern agriculture is through correct feeding strategies. EC (Electrical Conductivity) monitoring is at the center of these strategies because it is not enough to just give water—it is also necessary to know which minerals are in the water and at what concentration.
In soil-based or soilless agriculture, the density of nutrient salts that the plant can receive can be monitored instantly thanks to the EC value. This both reduces costs by preventing excessive fertilizer use and supports environmental sustainability. Correct EC monitoring also prevents stress formation in the plant, protects root health, and increases product quality.
Now, not only "how much did we irrigate?" but also "what is in the water?" has become a key point for agricultural success.
Smart Monitoring in Fertilization and Irrigation with Esular EC Sensor
Esular EC Sensor is an advanced conductivity measurement device developed to increase productivity and optimize resource use in modern agricultural applications. This sensor, which can precisely measure both liquid and soil EC values in soil-based and soilless environments, helps irrigation and fertilization processes to be carried out at the right time and dosage. Real-time data monitoring can be done via the mobile application, and the user is informed with warnings when threshold values are exceeded. The system, which can work integrated with automatic tasks, provides correct nutrient management without requiring manual intervention. Thanks to its ability to be used with other environmental sensors, all data in the field can be collected and analyzed on a single platform. In this way, both production processes are optimized and contribution is made to sustainable agriculture goals.
