Application of field soil information collection sensors in agricultural IoT

The development of modern technology has made the Internet of Things (IoT) more and more widely used in agriculture, and the agricultural IoT is also known to the majority of farmers.

The development of various performance sensors including non-contact rapid measurement sensors and intelligent sensors as an important part of IoT provides a new fine quantitative technical means for the collection of field soil and crop information. 

The application of these advanced sensors provides a powerful technical support for measuring soil conductivity, soil firmness, soil water content, soil pH, fertility (N, P, K content), atmospheric temperature, atmospheric humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, crop growth, crop yield, and other important information.

Niubol adopts wireless sensor network technology to design a crop moisture condition monitoring system, which realizes automatic deployment of information collection nodes and self-organized data transmission, and can accurately obtain information on water needed by crops, environmental information such as temperature, humidity, soil temperature and soil moisture, and information on micro-change of crop moisture physiological indexes when water is deficient. It has the advantages of low power consumption, low cost and flexible expansion, and can be applied to agricultural fields, greenhouses, nurseries and other areas.
