Soil moisture monitoring systems are often not limited to monitoring soil moisture content, but can also monitor other parameters closely related to soil quality and crop growth, such as soil temperature, soil pH, etc. These parameters are essential for assessing soil health, crop growth, irrigation and fertilization plans, and more.
Soil temperature is one of the important factors affecting crop growth, which can affect the microbial activity in the soil, the rate of water evaporation, and the growth of plant roots. By monitoring soil temperature, irrigation times can be optimized, water use efficiency can be improved, and possible frost damage risks can be achieved.
Soil pH is a measure of soil pH, which affects the availability of nutrients and microbial activity in the soil. Monitoring soil pH can help determine if soil pH needs to be adjusted to optimize the environment in which crops grow.
These parameters are continuously monitored over a long period of time by the soil moisture monitoring system, and the data is uploaded to the soil moisture monitoring platform in real time. This platform is usually a software system that integrates data analysis, visualization and management functions, which can receive, store, process and analyze uploaded data, generate various reports and charts, help users intuitively understand soil conditions, and provide decision support.
