Research on Soil Moisture Measurement Using Moisture Sensor

Abstract

In recent years, the aging of agricultural workers has progressed rapidly, successor problem is becoming more serious. Under such circumstances are coming out also new farmers that will beginner to agriculture. However, the establishment of farming technology has become a major management challenge for new farmers. In this study, we focused on the fact that to compensate for the water management is a part of the management challenges of the new farmers (establishment of farming technology), to build a soil moisture measurement system due to moisture sensor. In addition, clarification of irrigation amount and the results visualization is performed which is based on the measurement data.
