Abstract

The use of some soil moisture sensors, which have been getting cheaper in recent years, has been increasing thanks to Arduino microprocessor control cards. Within the scope of this study, the usability of economical 3 different soil moisture sensors in determining soil moisture with the Arduino microprocessor control card, which has been used frequently in recent years, has been investigated. For this purpose, 4 different types of sensors were tested in the study. One of these sensors has been used as a control sensor (10HS, DECAGON), while others consist of commonly used sensors known as the Arduino soil moisture sensor, gravity analog soil moisture sensor and capacitive soil moisture sensor. The responses of these sensors to soil moisture were determined in two different growing mediums: soil (medium body) and soilless (peat + perlite). According to the results obtained in the research, it was determined that 3 different soil moisture sensors whose performance was tested could not read correctly in the peat+perlite medium. In addition, the results obtained regarding the detection of soil moisture were varying in a wide range. It is understood that their economic life is very short due to rapid oxidation. Care should be taken in the use of these moisture sensors according to the results obtained.

Özet

Son yıllarda ucuzlayan bazı toprak nem sensörlerinin kullanımı Arduino mikroişlemci kontrol kartları sayesinde giderek artmaktadır. Buradan hareketle çalışma kapsamında, oldukça ekonomik olan 3 farklı toprak nem sensörünün son yıllarda sıklıkla kullanılan Arduino mikroişlemci kontrol kartıyla toprak nemini belirlemede kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla yapılan çalışmada 4 farklı tipte sensör ele alınmıştır. Bu sensörlerden biri kontrol sensörü (10HS, DECAGON) olarak kullanılmış, diğerleri de Arduino toprak nem sensörü, gravity analog toprak nem sensörü ve kapasitif toprak nem sensörü olarak bilinen ve sıklıkla kullanılan sensörlerden seçilmiştir. Bu sensörlerin, topraklı (orta bünye) ve topraksız (1/1 oranında torf+perlit) olmak üzere iki farklı yetiştirme ortamında toprak nemine karşı tepkileri belirlenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen sonuçlara göre performansı test edilen 3 farklı toprak nem sensörünün özellikle topraksız ortamda doğru okuma yapamadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca toprak nemini algılama konusunda da çok değişken sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Oksitlenmeden dolayı ekonomik ömürlerinin çok kısa olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre bu nem sensörlerinin kullanımı konusunda dikkatli olunması gerektiği söylenebilir.
