Soil moisture sensors in the Semikarakorsky district

When you're working on IoT, you have to understand a wide range of topics to create a high-quality device.
We've spent over 5 years developing a reliable, accurate, and user-friendly soil moisture sensor, and we'd like to share its applications with you.
Admit it - everyone loves to munch on cabbage, right?
๐ŸŒง Watering is critical for cabbage because:

1. Cabbage is 90-92% water ๐Ÿ’ฆ
Without enough moisture, it cannot:
- grow a head of cabbage;
- maintain the firmness of its leaves;
- absorb nutrients from the soil properly.

2. Cabbage has a shallow root system ๐Ÿฅฌ
It takes water from the topsoil, which dries out quickly. Without regular watering, the plant suffers immediately.

3. Lack of water = slow growth ๐Ÿค•
- The heads become small and loose.
- The leaves wilt and the color fades.
- The crop loses weight and flavor.

4. Watering irregularities cause cracks in the heads ๐Ÿ†˜
If there is a drought followed by excessive watering, the head will crack, resulting in a loss of appearance and shelf life.

5. Water is needed for the absorption of fertilizers ๐Ÿšœ
Without moisture, the roots cannot "pull" nutrients. Even with good fertilizer, there will be no effect without water.
Conclusion:
Watering is not just โ€œdesirableโ€, it is the base. Especially in hot and dry weeks. If you want dense, large, juicy cabbages - monitor the humidity.
And the GoodWAN soil moisture sensors will help with this. Data from the sensors is collected on the platform, and also pushed into a convenient telegram bot. So that the sensors are not damaged in the process of working with agricultural machinery - our client made convenient and noticeable posts for them to be installed.
