What are the sensor used in smart agriculture?

Sensors play a vital role in the development of smart agriculture. So, what are the common agricultural sensors?

Soil temperature and humidity sensor

This should be the most widely used sensor at present, and can play a role in monitoring soil temperature and humidity in real time.

We know that the production of crops is greatly affected by temperature and humidity. The use of temperature and humidity sensors can prevent major droughts and floods, ensure the production of crops, and promote yield.

carbon dioxide sensor

Carbon dioxide is necessary for crop production because crops are grown through photosynthesis. Monitoring the carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse through the carbon dioxide sensor helps to determine whether it is necessary to increase chemical fertilizers or ventilate.

Soil pH Sensor

 The supply of nutrients has a major impact on the growth of crops. By monitoring pH with soil pH sensors, key feedback on soil nutrient deficiencies or the presence of harmful substances can be obtained, further optimizing the growth potential of plants. 

 The front-end probe of NiuBoL soil PH sensor adopts PH electrode and is equipped with high-precision data processing circuit to realize the measurement output of soil PH. It can be widely used in soil moisture monitoring, water-saving irrigation, greenhouse control, precision agriculture and other fields.

The product is equipped with a filter cover and protective net to achieve long-life measurement. The product solves the shortcomings of traditional soil PH, such as the need to be equipped with professional display instruments, cumbersome calibration, difficult integration, high power consumption, high price, and difficult to carry. 

Sensors will play an indispensable role in agricultural production. The fertilization, spraying, and irrigation of crops all require data collection from sensors. In addition to the above several sensors, agricultural sensors also include many types. For more information, please consult NiuBoL sensor.
