Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of online soil moisture measurement, and in particular to a modular tension sensor device for measuring multi-layer soil. Background Art
[0002] Plant growth requires an optimal environment of water, fertilizer, air, and heat, with water being the most important regulatory factor. Water is one of the important raw materials for plant photosynthesis, and it also affects the opening and closing of plant leaf stomata, indirectly affecting the absorption of carbon dioxide. Water shortage will reduce the photosynthetic rate. Knowing the appropriate soil moisture conditions can achieve the effects of saving water and fertilizer and increasing production. Therefore, real-time and accurate monitoring of soil moisture has important guiding significance for agricultural production.
[0003] Soil moisture has the following functions in the growth process of plants:
[0004] 1. Soil moisture conditions directly affect crop nutrient absorption;
[0005] 2. The decomposition and mineralization of organic nutrients in the soil cannot be separated from water;
[0006] 3. Chemical fertilizers applied to the soil can only dissolve in water;
[0007] 4. The absorption of nutrients by crop roots must be achieved through water media.
[0008] Insufficient or excessive soil moisture will affect the normal growth of plants. The main manifestations are: Insufficient soil moisture will directly (reduced photosynthesis raw materials) or indirectly (stomatal closure, enzyme inactivation, etc.) affect photosynthesis, becoming the biggest limiting factor for photosynthesis. Lack of water can also cause the death of crops, because the total volume of soil gaps is certain, and this part of the volume is occupied by water and air. Then when there is too little water, the plant roots absorb insufficient water, and the transpiration of the plant causes the plant to lose a lot of water, which causes the plant to lose water and wither. When the soil lacks water, it will cause soil compaction and cracks. The resulting tension can break the plant roots, and in severe cases, it will cause plant death. When there is too much water, the proportion of air is small, resulting in the weakening of aerobic respiration of plant roots. The plant roots are forced to turn to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration produces alcohol that poisons the plant roots, causing root rot, and in severe cases, it also causes plant death.
[0009] Soil moisture measurement generally requires measuring multiple layers of data (such as 15, 30, 45, 60 cm underground, etc.) to comprehensively judge the moisture status of the soil.
[0010] Currently, the tension measurement method is mostly used to measure the moisture status of multiple layers of soil. Multiple tension sensor devices are set in different soil layers. After obtaining the moisture values of multiple soil layers, the moisture status of the soil is comprehensively judged. The layout setting of multiple tension sensors also directly leads to an increase in the cost of soil moisture measurement.
[0011] Therefore, it is hoped that a modular tension sensor device for measuring multi-layer soil can solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention
