In the era of smart agriculture, soil health management is moving from “experience-driven” to “data-driven”. Smart soil sensors that support mobile APP to view data, with IoT technology as the core, extend soil monitoring from the fields to the palm screen, allowing every grower to grasp the “pulse” of the soil at any time, and realize the scientific leap from “living by the weather” to “planting with knowledge of the soil”.
1. Real-time monitoring: making soil data “at your fingertips”
This sensor is like a “smart probe” buried in the soil, which can monitor 6 core indicators in real time with millimeter-level accuracy and minute-level frequency:
Soil moisture: accurately sense 0-100% moisture content changes, with an error of ≤3%, and say goodbye to the blindness of “watering by experience”;
Soil temperature: monitoring range – 30℃~80℃, real-time warning of extreme high temperature/low temperature damage to the root system;
Soil pH value: accurately identify acid-base imbalance (such as acidification, salinization), and provide data basis for acidification and soil improvement;
Nutrient content: dynamically track the concentration of trace elements such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), etc., to guide precise fertilization;
Electrical conductivity (EC value): monitor the degree of soil salinization and prevent root aging caused by continuous cropping obstacles;
All data are synchronized to the mobile phone APP in real time through LoRa wireless transmission technology. Even if you are thousands of miles away, you can open your mobile phone to view the soil in the farmland, greenhouse or flower pot “Health File” truly realizes “people in the office, fields in the palm of your hand”.
2. Mobile APP: Redefine soil management efficiency
The supporting smart soil management APP converts complex monitoring data into executable planting plans, creating a “monitoring-analysis-decision-making” full closed loop:
(I) Data visualization: Make the soil status “clear at a glance”
Dynamic dashboard: Present real-time data in the form of line charts, data cards, etc., support switching time dimensions, and quickly capture soil parameter fluctuations (such as humidity change curves after irrigation);
Historical report: Automatically generate soil health data, compare and analyze soil trends in different plots and seasons (such as changes in soil pH values in spring for two consecutive years), and assist in formulating long-term soil maintenance plans.
(II) Intelligent early warning: Risk prevention and control “one step faster”
Threshold customization: Set personalized early warning values according to crop types (such as the optimal humidity of strawberry roots is 60%-70%), and trigger reminders immediately once the standard is exceeded.
3. Full-scenario adaptation: a “universal partner” from small vegetable gardens to large farms
(I) Home gardening: turning novice growers into “experts”
Application scenarios: balcony potted plants, courtyard vegetable gardens, rooftop farms;
Core value: real-time monitoring of pot soil humidity through the APP to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering; improve the survival rate of flowers according to the soil preferences of different plants such as roses and succulents.
(II) Greenhouses: precise control of “smart growth”
Application scenarios: vegetable seedling cultivation, off-season fruit and vegetable planting, flower cultivation;
Core value: combined with temperature control system and drip irrigation system to achieve linkage control (such as automatically opening the sunshade net and drip irrigation when the soil temperature is greater than 30℃ and the humidity is less than 40%), reducing labor costs by 40% and shortening the crop growth cycle by 10%-15%.
(III) Field planting: large-scale management “cost reduction and efficiency improvement”
Application scenarios: food crops such as rice, wheat, and corn, and cash crops such as cotton and soybeans;
Core value: through the APP to define the monitoring grid, to grasp the soil moisture conditions of the whole area in real time, to guide the zoning irrigation (such as drought in area A requires watering, and the humidity in area B is suitable and no operation is required), the water saving rate is 30%; combined with nutrient data to implement “variable fertilization”, fertilizer input is reduced by 20%, and the yield per mu is increased by 8%-12%.
IV. Hardware advantages: “escort” for accurate monitoring
Industrial-grade durability: using IP68 waterproof shell and anti-corrosion probe, can be buried in the soil for long-term use, withstand heavy rain soaking, pesticide spraying and other harsh environments, and the service life exceeds 5 years;
Low power design: can integrate battery version LORA/LORAWAN collector, work for a long time, and do not need to frequently replace batteries;
Plug and play: no professional tools are required, the pile installation is completed in 3 minutes, the APP automatically recognizes the equipment, and zero-based users can quickly get started.
5. User Testimonials: Data-driven Planting Revolution
A vegetable farmer in the Philippines said: “After using this sensor, I can see all the data of the greenhouse soil on my mobile phone. Watering and fertilization have scientific basis. The incidence of tomato navel rot has dropped from 20% to 3%, and the yield per mu has increased by 2,000 kilograms!”
Manager of the Italian flower base: “Through the historical data comparison of the APP, we found that the soil pH value has been acidic for two consecutive years. We adjusted the fertilization plan in time. This year, the high-quality flower rate of roses has increased by 25%, and the picking period has been extended by half a month.”
Start the journey of smart planting
Soil is the “foundation” of crops, and data is the “key” to increase production. This smart soil sensor that supports mobile phone APP is not only a set of monitoring equipment, but also a “digital bridge” connecting growers and soil. Whether you want to improve the success rate of home gardening or achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement in large-scale planting, it can be supported by accurate data, making every work more “smart”.
