Excellence in Soil and Plant Moisture Monitoring Moisture Mapping

Soil and Plant Moisture Monitoring

Moisture mapping provides a comprehensive approach to monitoring soil and plant moisture levels, enabling farmers and landscapers to make informed decisions about irrigation and water management. This technology plays a crucial role in optimizing water usage, ensuring crop health, and preserving water resources.

How Do You Monitor Moisture in Soil?

In-Situ Sensors

  • Inserted directly into the soil, these sensors measure moisture content through capacitance or other methods.
  • Provide real-time, precise data on soil moisture levels at specific depths.

Tensiometers

  • Utilize a porous ceramic cup to measure soil water potential.
  • Provide an estimate of the amount of energy required for plants to extract water from the soil.

Neutron Probes

  • Emit neutrons into the soil and measure the amount that is reflected back.
  • Determine average moisture content over a large volume of soil.

Remote Sensing

  • Employs satellites or aerial imagery to assess soil moisture levels from a distance.
  • Provides broad-scale data and is useful for large-area monitoring.
