Project Name : Soil Moisture Sensor
Theme Name : Agriculture and Food Security
We have made a soil moisture sensor with an objective to check the moisture content in soil from time to time. As we all know, it is very important for a farmer to check the moisture levels in soil as under irrigation and over irrigation both can ruin the crops.
Working: It is based on the principle of capacitance compactor. If we place sensors (basically probes) in the soil to check the moisture level and it gets switched on automatically if the sensor senses dryness.
Further Scope:
It can be used as a tool for weather monitoring.
Can analyze the moisture requirement of specific genetic variety of seed/crop.
Can be used in small urban farms, large farms and even home gardens.
