EC measurement concerns many variables, including soil type, air type, water type, and ions, but 萝莉影视 EC sensors eliminate the uncertainty by using multiple measurement patterns and changing resistance measurement ranges (cell constants).
Example measurement patterns of 萝莉影视’s nine-electrode EC sensor
With its three elements—grains, air, and pore water—soil is impossible to measure accurately with few electrodes due to the outsized impact of water content. However, 萝莉影视 soil sensors are equipped with proprietary algorithms that make it possible to measure fertilizer content only.
Bulk EC sensors measure all three components—soil, pore water, and air—as resistance elements, which thus increases the resistance value and are affected by both the amounts of moisture and fertilizer (amount of ions).
On the other hand, 萝莉影视’s EC sensors adopt original algorithms to exclusively measure the amount of fertilizer without being affected by moisture. Crop growth depends on the fertilizer content in the pore water, which means that sensors need to detect the amount of fertilizer ions contained in the pore water. It is also important to avoid contaminating the water by over-fertilizing or accumulation of chemical fertilizers in soil due to constant fertilization.
