Soil Moisture, Temperature & EC Sensor
This industrial-grade MODBUS-RTU RS485 Soil Moisture & Temperature & EC Sensor features high accuracy, reliability, stability, and durability. It can be widely used in monitoring soil moisture, soil temperature, and soil EC in professional application scenarios. Soil moisture is the water stored in the soil. Soil temperature is the warmth of the soil. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is the level of salts in soil (salinity). These parameters are very important indicators of soil fertility and health, which ultimately affect the plants. When there is a high soil salinity, the salt will make it difficult for the plants to consume water even though there is a high moisture level in the soil. This will ultimately "burn" the plants. Meanwhile, too much moisture in the soil is not only bad for the plants but also wastes water and adds extra burdens to our planet earth. Plants grow best in their preferred environment, at the optimal ranges of soil moisture, temperature, and EC level
