Soil Moisture Sensor

Know exactly when to irrigate

Capacitance-based soil moisture sensor that measures volumetric water content at multiple depths (10 cm, 30 cm, 60 cm). Reduces irrigation water use by 25–40% and prevents both over- and under-watering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sensors do I need per acre?
For uniform soil, 1 sensor per 2–3 acres is sufficient. For variable soil types, use 1 per acre. KrishiPulse IoT dashboard aggregates all sensor readings.
Does the sensor work in clay soil?
Yes. Our capacitance sensors work in all soil types including clay, loam, and sandy soils. Calibration may be needed for very high clay content soils.
