Soil PH Sensor

Accuracy: Soil pH sensors can accurately measure the pH of the soil, thereby helping users to understand whether the pH of the soil meets the needs of plant growth.
Real-time: The soil pH sensor can monitor the pH of the soil in real time, so as to help users find the abnormal PH of the soil in time and take appropriate measures to correct it.
Convenience: Soil pH sensors can be conveniently installed in the soil, do not require much space, and can be used anytime, anywhere.
Economy: Compared with traditional soil analysis methods, the cost of soil pH sensors is lower, which can save a lot of money.
Sustainability: Soil pH sensors can monitor the pH of the soil over a long period of time, thereby helping users understand the changes in the soil and take measures to protect the soil environment.

Video introduction to soil PH sensor

Introduction:

Soil pH sensor is a device used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of soil. It consists of an electrochemical sensor that converts pH into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to a display unit or data logger for reading or recording.

How to use a soil pH sensor?

When using it for the first time, you need to plug it in the soil several times to remove the oxide film on the surface of the probe. Then insert the probe vertically into the soil, which requires avoiding rocks. Besides, you can manually dig a pit in the ground, then insert the sensor horizontally into the pit wall and bury the map.

Measuring area of soil pH sensor
The measurement area is a cylinder with a diameter of 5 cm and the same height as the probe with the center of the two probes as the center. As the picture shows:

Measuring area:
φ=5cm, cylinder with the same height as the probe

Precautions for using soil pH sensor
1. All probes must be inserted into the soil during measurement.
2. Pay attention to lightning protection when used in the field.
3. Do not bend the probe violently, pull the lead wire of the sensor forcefully, and do not hit
or hit the sensor violently.

4. The sensor’s protection grade is IP68, and the sensor can be soaked in water.
5. Due to the presence of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation in the air, it is not
 suitable to stay energized in the air for a long time.

Moisture Sensors: Perhaps the most widely used type, moisture sensors detect the amount of water present in the soil. They work by measuring the dielectric constant or the resistance between two electrodes, which changes with varying moisture levels.

Temperature Sensors: Essential for understanding the thermal environment of crops, these sensors track soil temperature, an important factor affecting seed germination, root growth, and microbial activity.

Electrical Conductivity (EC) Sensors: EC sensors assess the salinity and overall nutrient availability in the soil. Higher EC values typically indicate a greater concentration of dissolved salts, which can be detrimental if too high.

pH Sensors: Measuring the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, pH sensors are critical for determining the suitability of the soil for specific crops, as different plants thrive in different pH ranges.
