Agriculture is moving from fixed irrigation schedules toward data-driven water management. Soil moisture monitoring systems use sensors to measure water availability in the root zone and provide actionable insights on when, where, and how much to irrigate.
How does it work?
📡 Sensors measure soil moisture at selected depths
📊 Data transmission sends readings through IoT, LoRaWAN, or connected gateways
☁️ Platforms & analytics process moisture data and identify changes in soil conditions
🚨 Alerts notify farmers when moisture falls below a predefined threshold
💧 Irrigation control can trigger or adjust irrigation based on actual field conditions
📈 Historical data helps optimize irrigation schedules and improve water-use efficiency
Recent Developments
🔹 May 2026: ICAR-Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna, inaugurated an indigenous IoT-enabled soil monitoring system developed with BIT Mesra. The system is designed to support real-time soil moisture monitoring and more precise irrigation decisions, with field calibration and evaluation underway.
🔹 April 2026: CropX introduced Apex, a multi-depth soil sensor offering high-resolution root-zone monitoring. It measures volumetric water content, soil temperature, and salinity at 4-inch intervals and integrates with the CropX digital agronomy platform for irrigation insights and agronomic analytics.
🔹 April 2026: Spire expanded its agriculture intelligence offering by combining near-real-time soil moisture observations, weather forecasts, historical data, and AI-driven insights, supporting earlier identification of crop water stress and improved irrigation planning.
🔹 March 2026: IIJ and Sony established Sensiphia, a joint venture focused on smart agriculture. Its initial plans include soil moisture sensors for greenhouse and open-field cultivation, alongside irrigation navigation services designed to support data-driven irrigation.
🔹 2026: Research is also advancing toward low-cost and sustainable moisture sensing. A Nature Communications review highlighted cellulose-based sensors capable of decentralized soil and plant monitoring, including moisture measurement, with potential for distributed precision-agriculture applications.
