Title: Soil Moisture Monitoring with Sensor Technology and LoRaWAN
Content:
- Preventing tree mortality through optimized irrigation planning
- LoRaWAN-enabled sensors measuring soil moisture in close proximity to trees and making the data available in a web service.
- Protection of plants and trees from pests with sensors
As a result of climate change, summers are becoming increasingly hot and dry. Young trees in particular are at threat of drying out, as their roots are not fully developed and are unable to reach the deeper, more hydrated soil layers.
The start-up Plantobelly has developed the sensor Plantobelly, which monitors soil moisture at a depth of up to 60cm and transmits the data captured via LoRaWAN. The collected data is made available in a web service. Bastian Klemke explains the key facts of the Plantobelly sensor and how sensors, LoRaWAN and the web service enable an optimized and predictive irrigation planning in smart cities.
