Application of Soil Moisture Monitoring System in Paddy Field

Application of Soil Moisture Monitoring System in Paddy Field

For rice fields, water management needs to be controlled reasonably, too much or too little water is not conducive to the growth of rice.

If it is not irrigated in a timely and sufficient amount, or excessively irrigated, the rice rhizomes may not be able to absorb water from the soil in time, affecting the normal growth of rice. It is difficult to collect soil moisture data in the field at night.

Therefore, the multi-point soil moisture monitoring system is used to monitor and understand the relevant conditions of soil moisture to ensure that the soil moisture in the field is within a certain appropriate range.

In the season of rice sowing, the quality of rice is mostly affected by the genetics of the rice variety, but cultivation techniques and environmental conditions also directly affect the quality of rice.

The protein content of rice also varied significantly under different water management conditions.

When the moisture in the soil gradually decreased, the protein content in brown rice gradually increased, and drought stress decreased the gel consistency and protein content, which affected the cooking quality of rice.

Using the NiuBoL soil moisture monitoring system to monitor and analyze the soil moisture in paddy fields can guide farmers and growers to irrigate scientifically and make preparations for drought resistance in time, which plays a positive role in agricultural development.
