Abstract
The low-power sensing platform proposed by the FAMOSOS project is intended to be a wireless, low-power and multifunctional system for real-time soil monitoring. We developed a cost-effective in situ sensing system for nitrate concentrations in the soil solution along with soil moisture, pH and tempera-ture. Soil water samples are collected through a porous ceramic probe with a piezoelectric micropump, analysed through on-chip electrochemical measurements, communicating with a LoRa-based under-ground network. This paper presents the system design as well as the results from the first field test.
