Save Water and Energy with Soil Moisture Sensors!
Save Water and Energy with Soil Moisture Sensors! Today, the increasing consumption of water and energy makes the search for more efficient and sustainable solutions in the agricultural sector mandatory. At this point, more modern and technology-based methods come to the fore instead of traditional methods. Soil moisture sensors not only provide water savings to farmers but also reduce energy consumption. The operation of data with correct timing allows pumps and other energy-consuming devices to be used more efficiently. Additionally, using the correct amount of water supports plant development by protecting soil health.
What is a Soil Moisture Sensor?
Soil moisture sensors are devices that measure soil moisture. These sensors measure the amount of moisture at certain depths of the soil, ensuring that users' irrigation needs are accurately determined. These sensors, which are particularly important for agriculture, horticulture, and landscaping areas, offer healthier cultivation in addition to providing water and energy savings.
💧Continuous and Reliable Monitoring with esular Soil Moisture Sensors
esular soil moisture sensors operate with an internal solar panel charged battery, requiring no extra energy. In this way, they work efficiently and continuously without experiencing problems such as energy interruptions or battery depletion. While the 2-probe soil moisture sensor works from 2 different depths, the 3-probe soil moisture sensor provides more precise and detailed monitoring by measuring from 3 different depths. Especially when growing plants with deep root structures, whether the water reaches the root zone can also be monitored more precisely.
esular sensors are highly resistant to corrosion and breakage thanks to their structure reinforced with solid carbon fiber rods. This eliminates the need for users to constantly replace devices or perform maintenance, offering long-term usage possibilities.
How Does a Soil Moisture Sensor Work?
The wireless battery-powered Soil Moisture Sensor operates with a solar panel rechargeable battery. No external energy or wiring is required for the sensor to operate. Thanks to its low power consumption structure and sleep modes, battery life is quite long. The sensor interacts with the soil through a probe system buried in and in contact with the soil. Values measured at certain intervals via probes are transmitted to the server. The values transmitted to the server can be monitored instantly from our application. Thus, soil moisture levels can be monitored, and necessary irrigation or fertilization processes can be planned.
Advantages Provided by Soil Moisture Sensors
Soil moisture sensors have become an important tool for increasing agricultural productivity. Some benefits of these sensors are:
- Soil moisture sensors optimize irrigation processes by determining the amount of water plants need. Therefore, they ensure the efficient use of water.
- Correct irrigation reduces plant stress and supports their growth by ensuring plants stay at ideal moisture levels.
- They increase crop yield by helping plants grow in the most suitable conditions.
- When integrated with automatic irrigation systems, soil moisture sensors continuously monitor the soil condition and automatically manage the irrigation process.
- The data obtained helps producers develop future irrigation strategies by performing historical analysis.
- Unnecessary irrigation can cause soil erosion and waste of water resources. Soil moisture sensors reduce environmental impacts by ensuring that only as much water as needed is given.
