  6. 5. LoRa Based Moisture Sensing System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Rasha Badran; [2023]
    Keywords : LoRa; moisture sensor; capacitive sensor;

    Abstract : Water is an important parameter for crop growth, and the information about the moisture content in soil at different depths is very useful for farmers to determine the best time to water the soil and to irrigate farmland so as to maximize their yield. This thesis project aims to develop a prototype of a multi-depth moisture sensor probe that is part of a large sensing system used in agriculture. READ MORE
