Abstract A very simple and useful project of soil moisture circuit.The circuit is using only four components and a 3v battery. The circuit will detect if there is water in the soil of any plant and light up the LED . The resistor R2 is a potentio meter to adjust the level on which you want to make the LED on. Circuit diagram : Advantages Following are the advantages of Plant Moisture sensor for soil : Watermark sensors and Transistors are very low in cost. Watermark sensors offer larger moisture reading range from 0 to 200 cb or kpa. Offers accurate results. Disadvantages Following are the disadvantages of Plant Moisture sensor for soil: It requires probe to be inserted in the soil. It requires labor to collect the data and maintain the measurement processes. The measured values depend on properties of various materials. The correct interpretation and use of moisture data is needed. Thank you
