SOIL MOISTURE DETECTION INFORMING MANAGEMENT EQUIPMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soil moisture detection informing management equipment allowing display and information of/on the condition of moisture in soil and easy control of the condition. SOLUTION: Two or more conducting pairs are mounted on a detection part 2 for measuring the electric conductivity of soil. Therefore, easy detection, management and information of/on moisture in soil at each depth are allowed corresponding to the depth of a pot, the depth position of a plant root, an individual difference in water intake between plants and the presence or not of water retaining property of soil. A display part made light-emissive or light-emissive/nonemissive is superior in visibility and usable for controlling a vegetable garden under dark environment. Besides, an external control part is mounted on the equipment so that facilities for resupplying water are freely controlled and the condition of moisture in soil is maintained and managed under the optimum environment.
