Description: A soil sensor is a device that measures soil moisture and other properties, such as temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity. These sensors are essential in the field of precision agriculture and water resource management, as they provide real-time data on soil conditions. Integrated into Internet of Things (IoT) systems, soil sensors can transmit information to cloud platforms, where users can analyze the data and make informed decisions. The technology behind these sensors has significantly evolved, incorporating advancements in miniaturization, connectivity, and data analysis. This has made them more accessible and efficient, facilitating their use in various applications, from automated irrigation to environmental monitoring. Their relevance lies in their ability to optimize resource use, improve agricultural productivity, and contribute to sustainable practices in water and soil management.
