Abstract
This paper presents a solution in measuring the moisture content of soil more reliably and more reproducibly. The sensor can detect moisture levels in different depths of the soil probed and in a more homogeneous way than comparable sensors that are commonly used. The repeatability of the measurement is also increased intrinsically because a larger soil volume is being sampled.
