It s time for a little feedback from the roots. The soil moisture value is computed locally and then transmitted by the receiving node to a surface gateway. Each day that your sprinkler timer is scheduled to water it checks in with the xtra smart soil moisture sensor. With the underground sensors you don t have to settle for inaccurate information based on a single average moisture value for the entire field.

Read this blog to learn how to optimize soil moisture by using underground sensors. The unit sends data using a cellular signal back to the website so you can always be up to date on what the moisture levels of your field are looking like. Two radio transceivers can exchange signals and make possible to provide indirect estimates of soil moisture content without the need for an ad hoc sensor. With the new smrt y soil moisture sensor kit from rain bird an irrigation controller is directly linked to the absolute moisture requirements of a site s vegetation.

The findings are based on recent research on the effect of soil moisture on plant growth you can download the full research report. Instead you can place multiple underground sensors across your field in the locations you know are different by experience monitor different parts of the field separately and apply an individual.
