Applications:

Agriculture Irrigation
Accurate monitoring of soil moisture in the depth of soil is essential for efficient and effective agricultural irrigation techniques.

Greenhouse and Garden Planting
Soil moisture and temperature are highly related to farm productivity. Excessive moisture leads to yield loss and plant mortality, while too little moisture leads to root disease and water waste.

Turf and Lawn Management
The successful implementation of soil moisture and temperature monitoring is also applied to turf/lawn management.

Drought Monitoring

Regional droughts can severely impact economies and even lead to famine in some parts of the world. Soil moisture is critical to understanding the interactions between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface.
