The Soil Moisture Sensor is an electronic device used to measure the moisture content in soil. It helps monitor and manage irrigation in agricultural and gardening applications. By measuring the conductivity or resistance of the soil, it provides an indication of soil moisture levels. The sensor is compact, easy to use, and typically includes adjustable sensitivity. It is an essential tool for optimizing water usage, preventing over or under-watering, and maintaining healthy plant growth.
