Water is the most essential resource on our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plant cannot grow if it doesn’t have healthy roots, therefore the proper balance of water is vital when growing plants Overwatering will let the roots to growing in waterlogged soil which may die because they cannot absorb the oxygen needed to function normally. The dying roots decay and can’t supply the plants with nutrients and water. At the same time If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients it needs cannot travel through the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Soil Moisture Indicator senses the moisture levels in the soil upto a depth of 30 cm (1 feet).  Soil moisture indicator gives moisture status within 2-3 sec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIrrigation water management requires timely application of the right amount of water. Competition for water, high pumping costs, and concerns for the environment are making good water management more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoisture in Soil can be tested by many ways like lab method, or tensiometers or with other moisture sensors.
