What is Soil Moisture?
Soil moisture measures the water content in the soil, critical for irrigation decisions and crop health monitoring.
Key Measurements:
- Surface layer moisture (0-5cm depth)
- Root zone moisture (0-100cm depth)
- Saturation levels and trends
- Temporal changes and patterns
Agricultural Applications
Use soil moisture data to optimize water usage and improve crop yields.
Use Cases:
- Precision irrigation scheduling
- Drought monitoring and prediction
- Flood risk assessment
- Crop stress early warning
Data Interpretation Tips
- •Optimal soil moisture varies by crop type and growth stage
- •Compare current levels with historical averages for your region
- •Consider soil type when interpreting moisture readings
- •Use trend data to predict irrigation needs 3-5 days ahead
