The health of soil is directly related to the growth and yield of crops. As an important index of soil health, soil moisture and drought are very important for agricultural production to monitor and manage. In recent years, with the progress of science and technology, soil moisture and drought monitoring instrument came into being, providing a strong technical support for precision agriculture.

The WX-GTS10 Soil moisture and drought monitor integrates a variety of sensors to monitor the soil moisture content, temperature, conductivity and other parameters in real time, so as to accurately reflect the soil moisture and drought conditions. These sensors can penetrate into different levels of the soil to obtain comprehensive soil information. At the same time, the monitor is also equipped with a data acquisition and transmission system, which can upload real-time monitoring data to the cloud or local data center for users to view and analyze at any time.

Application advantage of soil moisture and drought monitor

‌ real-time monitoring, accurate early warning ‌ : soil moisture and drought monitor can monitor the change of soil moisture in real time, once found soil moisture shortage or serious drought, immediately issued early warning, to help farmers take measures in time to avoid crop damage.

‌ Scientific guide irrigation ‌ : By monitoring soil moisture content, farmers can irrigate more scientifically and rationally, avoiding resource waste and crop growth obstruction caused by over-irrigation or under-irrigation.

‌ improve agricultural production efficiency ‌ : The application of the monitor enables farmers to grasp the soil condition more accurately, optimize the planting structure, and improve agricultural production efficiency.

‌ Promote sustainable agricultural development ‌ : Accurate monitoring and management of soil moisture and drought can help protect soil resources, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and promote the development of agriculture in the direction of green and sustainable development.

With the continuous development of the Internet of Things, big data and other technologies, the function of soil moisture and drought monitoring instrument will be more perfect. In the future, we can look forward to the emergence of more intelligent and accurate monitoring instruments to provide more comprehensive and reliable technical support for agricultural production. At the same time, the government and enterprises should also increase investment, promote the popularization and application of monitoring instruments, and improve the overall level and competitiveness of China's agricultural production.
