Researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed compostable, screen-printed soil sensors made from biodegradable materials that break down into plant nutrients. These sensors could ...

University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have developed low-cost sensors that allow for real-time, continuous monitoring of nitrate in soil types that are common in Wisconsin. These printed ...

Bacteria-powered batteries could soon supply farms with cheap, sustainable energy. UK startup Bactery draws on the electrons produced by bacteria in soil to harvest clean electricity from the ...

• Soil sensors collect data on moisture, salinity, electrical conductivity and other vital parameters that help understand soil’s condition and anticipate irrigation needs.

“The main challenge we were trying to solve is figuring out a way to enable these electrochemical sensors to work well in the harsh environment of soil and accurately sense nitrate ions,” Andrews says ...

The weather-resistant sensor on the ECOWITT Soil Moisture Tester takes accurate moisture readings in about 72 seconds and displays them on a convenient LCD display.
