Soil Salinity & EC Sensor

₹9,000.00

Overview

The Soil Salinity Sensor (Soil EC Sensor) is an industrial-grade precision instrument designed to measure the total salt content and electrical conductivity (EC) of soil. Featuring a robust, epoxy-encapsulated waterproof body and high-durability stainless steel probe pins, this sensor allows for direct insertion into soil or aqueous nutrient solutions. It provides continuous, highly reliable monitoring for smart agriculture, environmental research, and automated irrigation management.

Key Features & Working Principle

  • Direct Measurement: Measures soluble salt concentration directly in root zones without requiring tedious soil sampling or laboratory extraction.
  • Industrial RS485 Interface: Supports long-distance signal transmission and easy integration into PLC systems, IoT gateways, and data loggers.
  • Durable & Weatherproof: Resistant to strong acid/alkali corrosion, long-term soil burial, and moisture ingress.
  • Wide Operating Voltage: Flexible input power requirement of 12V to 24V DC, standard for industrial automation.

Applications & Uses

  • Smart Precision Agriculture: Monitors root zone soil salinity to optimize fertigation schedules, preventing soil degradation, fertilizer waste, and salt stress on crops.
  • Greenhouse & Hydroponics Management: Ensures optimal EC concentrations in soil-less substrates and liquid nutrient solutions for maximum plant growth.
  • Soil Salinization & Environmental Monitoring: Used in ecological research and land rehabilitation projects to track land degradation, salt intrusion, and soil quality over time.
  • Water & Fertilizer Integration Systems: Integrates directly with automated irrigation controllers to trigger water flushing or nutrient delivery based on real-time soil EC data.
