Measuring irrigation system performance using automation sensor

Soil Moisture Sensor or known as Soil Moisture Meter Watermark is widely used in irrigation field. It is an indirect method to measure the soil water content. In this experiment, we have done an experiment on measure soil moisture in field by using soil moisture sensor. The sensors should be located in the effective root zone at locations which will give a representative picture of the soil water status of the field. Water penetration and holding capacity across a field can differ due to soil type, soil interfaces and topography. By doing this experiment, we can measure the water content in soil and at the same time we can reduce the water uses for agriculture.
