Capacitive Soil Sensor: A type of sensor that measures the dielectric permittivity of a surrounding medium. In soil, this permittivity is highly dependent on water content.
Unlike cheap resistive sensors that corrode in weeks, VarshaKrishi uses industrial-grade capacitive sensors fully encased in epoxy, ensuring a multi-year lifespan in harsh Indian agricultural conditions.
Discover how VarshaKrishi utilizes this technology in our offline-first systems across rural India.
