Soil Moisture Sensor
About the product
A Soil Moisture Sensor measures the amount of water content in soil. Soil Moisture Sensors are critical in ensuring that plants receive the optimal amount of water, as over or under watering can harm plant growth and development. Soil Moisture Sensors work by measuring the electrical conductivity or resistance of soil, which changes depending on the amount of moisture present. The Sensor data can be used to trigger automated irrigation systems or to guide manual watering decisions. Overall, Soil Moisture Sensors are an essential tool for horticulturists to maintain healthy plant growth and maximize crop yield.
