Water is a very precious resource in agriculture.

Due to the general nature of

typical agriculture soils, the soil in the agricultural area may contain portions of
relatively high moisture concentration and portions of relatively low moisture
concentration. Efficient water irrigation helps in saving water, getting better plant
yields, reduce dependency on fertilizers and improve crop quality. Both laboratory
and field in, but the quickest and better one is with the use of eleccluding remote
sensing are available to measure soil moisture contenttronic soil moisture sensor
device. For successful irrigation, it is necessary to monitor soil moisture content
continuously in the irrigation fields.
Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. Since the direct
gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and
weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content
indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance,
dielectric constant, or interaction with neutrons, as a proxy for the moisture content.
