The soil moisture sensor is a sensor used to determine the volumetric water content in the soil. Straight gravimetric dimension of the moisture in soil has to be eliminated, drying and sample weighting are required. These sensors indirectly measure volumetric water content by utilizing soil rules such as dielectric constant, electrical resistance, otherwise interaction with neutrons, and moisture content replacement. Soil moisture sensor is nearly 3% of the global IoT sensor market.
