Applications of soil moisture monitoring stations

Soil moisture monitoring station

Soil moisture monitoring station is developed and supplied by NiuBoL, the instrument is suitable for long time monitoring of soil moisture and soil temperature, the user is able to arrange the sensors flexibly according to the needs, able to arrange the sensors in different soils, measuring the profile soil moisture situation, the system damage provides additional expansion capabilities, according to the monitoring needs to increase the corresponding sensors, such as soil temperature sensors, soil conductivity sensors, soil pH, groundwater level, groundwater quality, as well as air temperature, air humidity, light intensity, wind speed and direction, rainfall and other sensors.

Applications of soil moisture monitoring stations

In fact, soil moisture monitoring and forecasting of soil moisture in farmland by soil moisture monitoring stations has become an important part of farmland water conservation technology promotion and information services, and plays an important role in promoting the application of modern agricultural science and technology and production management level.

Water is the material basis of agricultural production, and atmospheric precipitation and irrigation are the main sources of water for crops. Except for aquatic crops (such as rice), all precipitation and irrigation water must be converted into soil water before it can be absorbed and used by crops. Various field engineering, agronomic techniques and management measures can affect the soil water supply to farmland and the efficiency of water use by crops. To grasp the instantaneous soil moisture content, we can accurately determine the water demand status of dry field crops and achieve timely water replenishment or drainage.

Soil moisture monitoring stations combine the actual local situation, especially focus on the comparison of monitoring data and crop phenology to correct this evaluation index system, so as to be more suitable for the region and the crop, and establish the soil moisture and drought evaluation index system for different crops in the county. The data obtained through analysis for drought forecasting provides scientific theoretical support for governments at all levels to make correct decisions, provides farmers with scientific sowing and irrigation periods, and provides scientific theoretical support to achieve sustainable agricultural development, and gives full play to its guiding role in practice.
