aranet Soil Moisture Sensor
This sensor measures volumetric water content, dielectric permittivity, and soil temperature for horticulture and other applications.
Function
*When attached to plant substrate, this sensor:**
- Measures water content in the substrate.
- Monitors soil temperature for planting and seed germination.
- Indicates optimal fertilizer nutrient levels via electrical conductivity.
Instructions
Insert sensor probes into the plant substrate* and observe the trend of the
electric conductivity as one of the growth indicators. Ideally, use 3 – 5
sensors per irrigation valve.

Full automation routine
Aranet Soil sensors and climate computer optimize the usage of fertilizer, water irrigation system, and seed planting:
- The Soil sensor network measures electric conductivity and water saturation.
- The base station collects and stores measured data.
- Access historic data from a base station locally or from the Aranet cloud.
- Evaluate data and let the climate computer adjust irrigation and fertilizer dosing.
Optimal probe placement depends on the type of crop as well as substrate and is subject to experimentation.
