Soil moisture sensors are used to measure the volumetric water content of the soil. These sensors are ideal for performing experiments in courses such as soil science, agricultural science, environmental science, horticulture, botany, biology etc. The moisture sensors use capacitance to measure the water content of soil by measuring the dielectric permittivity of the soil. These sensors are very sophisticated and can be directly inserted into the soil to detect the moisture content. The sensors can measure the loss of moisture over time, due to evaporation and plant uptake, optimum soil moisture contents for various species of plants etc. The global soil moisture sensors market is estimated and forecasted in terms of revenue (USD million) generated by the global market.

Soil Moisture Sensors Market Outlook

The global soil moisture sensors market is witnessing remarkable growth owing to surge in the adoption of precision farming and protected agriculture practices. Furthermore, the overall market is also being propelled by gradual shift in the climatic conditions globally. The market is further boosted by technological advancements in the production of soil moisture sensors by various vendors across the globe. Moreover, increasing adoption of the advanced farming techniques and availability of government incentives would further provide growth opportunities to the market. However, the global soil moisture sensors market is hampered by spatial variability in the soil and poor reliability.
