Scientists have discovered a rapid molecular switch in plant roots that allows them to detect dry soils and redirect root ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...

integrated with a low-cost soil moisture monitoring system using the HD38 sensor. Soil moisture was tracked over a 50 cm depth using four capacitive probes. Environmental variables, including ...

Forest soil stores water, carbon and nutrients for trees and also provides a habitat for living organisms. When managing ...

I’m always looking for creative and cost-effective ways to put my Raspberry Pi boards to work. While the Pi itself is a great ...

Innovative sensor solutions are transforming indoor farming, allowing precise control of environmental factors to boost crop ...

Monitoring soil moisture is an essential aspect of comprehending the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, the cost of commercial sensors often challenges their acquisition. In response to ...

To combat the problems with measuring things in the natural world with electricity, [David] built this capacitive soil moisture sensor which also has the benefit of using an extremely small amount ...

This study aimed to calibrate and evaluate three capacitance soil moisture sensors, namely, capacitive v1.2, capacitive v2.0 and capacitive waterproof sensors for various soil textures at the Indian ...

Soil moisture sensors (SMS) are devices that measure water content in the soil using technologies like capacitance, resistance, and time-domain reflectometry. Capacitance sensors measure the soil’s ...

The change in dielectric constant due to soil moisture affects the capacitance of the probe, which is then measured to estimate moisture levels. These sensors are less invasive than some other ...
