  2. Soil moisture sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture_sensor

    A simple soil moisture sensor for gardeners. Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. [1] Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant ...

  3. TDR moisture sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDR_moisture_sensor

    The sensor contains a waveguide consisting of two, three, or more parallel wires which is connected via a coaxial cable to a voltage pulse generator which sends precisely defined voltage pulses into the sensor. As the pulse travels along the waveguide its progress varies depending on the moisture content of the material being examined.

  4. Frequency domain sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_domain_sensor

    Capacitance probe, or fringe capacitance sensor.Capacitance probes use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of the soil. The volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivity of the soil because the dielectric constant of water (80) is much greater than the other constituents of the soil (mineral soil: 4, organic matter: 4, air: 1).

  5. Irrigation controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation_controller

    Some controllers have additional features such as multiple programs to allow different watering frequencies for different types of plants, rain delay settings, input terminals for sensors such as rain and freeze sensors, soil moisture sensors, weather data, remote operation, etc. There are two basic types of controllers, electric and hydraulic.

  6. Moisture meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_meter

    The pad type moisture meter is non-invasive in nature and requires only surface contact with the wood to obtain a reading. [7] [8] The non-invasive meter creates a low-frequency electrical wave between the two pads and measures the electrical properties of the wood, similar to the invasive pin-type meter. [9]

  7. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

    This can be done by placing the TDRs in different soil layers and measuring the time of start of precipitation and the time that TDR indicates an increase in the soil moisture content. The depth of the TDR (d) is a known factor and the other is the time it takes the drop of water to reach that depth ( t ); therefore the speed of water ...

  8. Water retention curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_retention_curve

    Water retention curve is the relationship between the water content, θ, and the soil water potential, ψ. The soil moisture curve is characteristic for different types of soil, and is also called the soil moisture characteristic. It is used to predict the soil water storage, water supply to the plants (field capacity) and soil aggregate stability.

  9. Capacitance probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_probe

    When the amount of water changes in the soil, a probe will measure a change in capacitance due to the change in dielectric permittivity that can be directly correlated with a change in water content. Capacitance sensors are now widely used in irrigation scheduling in agriculture around the world. [citation needed] Cure monitoring of Composite ...
