Description: A nutrient monitoring sensor is a device designed to measure and analyze nutrient levels in soil or nutrient solutions, especially in agricultural applications. These sensors are an integral part of the Internet of Things (IoT), as they allow for real-time data collection and transmission to analysis platforms. Their operation is based on advanced technologies that may include electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and optical technology, enabling them to detect the concentration of essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The relevance of these sensors lies in their ability to optimize fertilizer use, improve plant health, and increase efficiency in agricultural production. By providing accurate information about the nutritional status of the soil, farmers can make informed decisions about irrigation and fertilization, resulting in more sustainable resource use and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, these devices can be integrated with agricultural management systems, allowing for continuous monitoring and automation of processes, facilitating the implementation of precision agriculture practices.
