摘要

土壤水分是植物和土壤微生物重要生長要素。水可以幫助植物生長，但是缺水及過度灌溉均會造成植物死亡。因此，適當的灌溉對於植物正常生長是必須的。土壤水分測定的標準方法是採用重量法，但這種方法費時。為了增加量測速度，一種結合微控制器之土壤水分感測器被使用於現場快速土壤水分量測。本研究的主要目的是開發溫室土壤水分含量無線監控系統，使農民經由無線網路監測栽培作物土壤含水量並依據植物不同生長階段之需水量進行人工灌溉。

Soil moisture serves as nutrients to plants and microbes to the soil. Water can help the plants to grow however it can also drown the plants if excess water is given. The plants might also die when there is lack of water. Therefore, proper irrigation is required for a normal plant growth. The standard method of determining soil moisture is using the gravimetric method, however this method takes time. For a faster response, an in situ sensor interfaced with microcontroller will be used to determine soil moisture. The main purpose of this research is to develop a wireless monitoring system for monitoring the soil moisture content of a greenhouse, in order for the farmers to monitor the soil water content of their crops using their computers and to schedule irrigation. The applying of water to the crops will be applied manually, since different stages of the plant growth needs different amount of water.
