Problems solved by technology

[0003] In modern agriculture, the requirements for irrigation are very high. It is necessary to ensure the water demand of crops, and at the same time, the water cannot exceed the standard, because excessive water is a waste of resources and energy, and has a negative impact on the growth of crops.
At present, the determination of moisture is mostly based on experience, and methods such as titration and weighing are also used for measurement. However, these methods require sampling, and the water content in the entire land is measured according to the water content of the samples, which is neither accurate nor possible. Online real-time acquisition of parameters is only an experimental method. There are general-purpose sensors of this type abroad that can be used, but their prices are very expensive, and it is impossible to promote their use among farmers in our country.
However, foreign portable detectors cannot adapt well to the soil conditions in our country.
