In agricultural production and plant research, soil water status is one of the key factors affecting crop growth and yield. In order to achieve precise irrigation, improve water resource utilization and optimize the growing environment of crops, we have developed various soil moisture monitoring instruments, among which the soil pipe profile moisture meter is playing an increasingly important role in farmland water management with its unique advantages. In this paper, the working principle, application advantages and how to monitor soil moisture condition efficiently will be revealed in depth.

WX-GTS5 soil pipe profile moisture meter is an instrument for measuring soil moisture based on the principle of dielectric constant. Dielectric constant is a physical property of a substance, which reflects the response ability of a substance to an electric field. There is a close relationship between water content and dielectric constant in soil. The higher the water content is, the greater the dielectric constant is. Soil tubular profile moisture meter emits electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency into the soil, and measures the propagation speed or reflection intensity of electromagnetic waves in the soil, so as to calculate the dielectric constant of the soil, and then get the soil moisture content.

Application advantage of soil pipe profile moisture meter

‌ high-precision measurement ‌ : The pipe-based soil moisture profiler adopts advanced sensing technology and signal processing technology, which can realize high-precision soil moisture measurement with small error range and reliable data.

‌ real-time monitoring ‌ : The instrument can monitor soil water status in real time, provide continuous and dynamic data support, help to find abnormal changes of soil water in time, and provide timely decision basis for agricultural production.

‌ profile monitoring ‌ : The tubular soil profile moisture meter can not only measure the moisture content of the soil surface, but also monitor the soil profile deeply to understand the moisture status of different soil layers, and provide scientific basis for precise irrigation.

‌ easy to operate ‌ : the instrument is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry and install, easy to operate and understand, suitable for various scales of farmland.

Soil pipe profile moisture meter plays an important role in farmland water management because of its high precision measurement, real-time monitoring, profile monitoring and easy operation. Through reasonable arrangement of monitoring points, regular calibration of instruments, combined with other monitoring means and in-depth analysis of monitoring data, the goal of efficient monitoring of soil water status can be achieved, and provide strong support for agricultural production.
