With a broad voltage power supply range of 5-30V and data output through the reliable RS485 MODBUS-RTU protocol. It is compatible with the Arduino UNO and TTL to RS485 expansion board for easy setup. Its ability to measure nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium helps optimize soil fertility, improve plant growth, and enhance yields, making it an essential component for efficient farming, greenhouse cultivation, and hydroponic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with a high protection level of IP68, the soil sensor is vacuum-sealed with black flame-retardant epoxy resin. The probe is crafted from 316 stainless steel, offering rust-proof, waterproof, and anti-corrosion properties. It also resists salt-alkali corrosion and long-term electrolysis, making it highly durable even in soils with high salt content. Its compact size allows for long-term burial in various soil types without affecting its performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E38043-content1.webp?v=1791351573\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E38043-content2.webp?v=1791351573\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soil Sensor finds extensive applications in various soil environment detection scenarios. These include agricultural irrigation, greenhouses, flowers and vegetables cultivation, grassland and pastures, rapid soil testing, plant cultivation, scientific experiments, and grain storage. Its versatility and reliability make it an invaluable tool in modern agriculture and soil science research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium sensor data can only be used as a reference and cannot be as accurate as professional instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrogen (N): Nitrogen is a component of organic matter such as proteins, nucleic acids, and amino acids in plants, and plays an important role in plant growth and development. Nitrogen fertilizer can promote the growth of plant leaves, increase the green part of the plant, and improve the efficiency of photosynthesis. Lack of nitrogen will cause yellowing of plant leaves and retarded growth, affecting plant yield and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhosphorus (P): Phosphorus is a component of important compounds such as DNA, RNA, and ATP in plants, and plays a key role in the energy metabolism, growth, and development of plants. Phosphorus fertilizer can promote plant root development and flower bud differentiation, and increase plant flowering and fruiting. Lack of phosphorus will lead to short root systems and poor flower bud differentiation, affecting plant reproductive growth and yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotassium (K): Potassium is an important ion in plants that regulates osmotic pressure and maintains ion balance. It plays an important role in plants' water balance and nutrient absorption. Potassium fertilizer can promote plant root growth and nutrient transport within the plant, increasing plant stress resistance and yield. Lack of potassium will cause plant leaf margins to scorch, reduce fruit quality, and affect plant growth and yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E38043-content3.webp?v=1791351604\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more detailed insights on selecting the most suitable sensor, refer to the guide on [How to Select the Best Soil Moisture Sensors for Agriculture and Research Lab].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-30V wide voltage power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS485 output, can be used with Arduino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh precision, fast response, and stable output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel probe can be buried in soil or water for a long time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResin vacuum filling and sealing, IP68 protection level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E38043-content4.webp?v=1791351619\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply voltage: DC5-30V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 0.15W@12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput mode: RS485\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection parameters: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPK range: 0-2999mg\/kg (mg\/L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 1mg\/kg (mg\/L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuracy: ≤5% (subject to the actual measuring instrument)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection level: IP68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProbe material: anti-corrosion special electrode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealing material: black flame-retardant epoxy resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking temperature: 0°C~+55°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable length: 2m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 123*45*15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping List\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS485 Soil Sensor (N\u0026amp;P\u0026amp;K) x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wiki.dfrobot.com\/sen0605\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Wiki\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DFRobot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67582694850637,"sku":"E38043-001","price":85.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E38043-win1.jpg?v=1791351658","url":"https:\/\/www.mlab.com.au\/products\/rs485-modbus-rtu-soil-npk-measure-sensor-for-efficient-agricultural-ip68-5-30v","provider":"MLAB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
