Abstract

As one of soil dynamics properties, soil moisture content is an important factor of soil fertility which counts for much to crop growth situation and scientific irrigation management. A design plan of regional spatial variation of soil moisture measurement was introduced. Its main job includes the use of differential GPS technology for each sampling points in farmland, collecting data of high-precision geo-spatial information and soil moisture in farmland resorting on measure instruments of soil moisture, communicating the data between measuring instrument and portable data analysis devices or computer with cable or wireless network based on ZigBee technology, analyzing data of experimental farmland of the topography and terrain, processing and interpolating data of soil moisture content.
