4 CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION OF SOIL SENSOR: Fertile soil plays an important role to maintain the quality of yield in Agriculture field. To maintain the soil fertility is the major problem crowded in all over word. Bi-colour leaves / bio material moisture study is reported earlier by Yogi to check leaf moisture for water scheduling of cash crops. To predict the probability of obtaining a profitable response to fertilizer application, Low analysis soils may not always respond to fertilizer applications due to other limiting factors. However, the probability of a response is greater than on a high analysis soil will provide sufficient nutrients for the best possible yields. This chemocapacitive soil sensor is intended for the measurement of moisture content in soils or other materials with a similar consistency. It has been optimized for applications requiring low power consumption in combination with high longterm stability. A standard 0-1V output facilitates easy interfacing to any readout or logging equipment. The chemo-capacitive device includes an external optional

5 temperature Detector. It is especially suited for long-term measurements with battery powered cataloguing equipment. This chemo-moisture sensor is intended as a low-cost alternative where the dynamics of moisture and water withholding are of major concern and a high absolute accuracy is not required. A capacitive method is employed which in principle measures the volumetric water content. The calibration curves, however, are dependent on soil type and salt concentration. Therefore, absolute measurements can be obtained but require calibration by independent methods. The aim of this manuscript is to study the effect of chemo-moisture variation of different fertilizer applied soil and also to study its effect on soil fertility by simple technique. AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF SOIL SENSOR: The present work deals with sensitivity of moisture contain in soil by applying different fertilizer and analysis and characterize by chemo-capacitive technique. The soil moisture sensing characteristics have been evaluated for two different regions soil and treated with different fertilizer that is chemical, bio and naturally present fertilizer in soil. The temperature effect is also trying to relate to the moisture activity at an operating temperature zone from RT to 60 o C. The sensing mechanism of such sensor is based on polarization under the action of

6 the external field. The attempts have been made to correlate dielectric constant k s (a parameter that relate the polarization with the change in partial pressure of humidity reactive oil mixture) with change in operating temperature. Thus the most important objective of our sensor is to verify the fertility of different fertilizer treated soil and its moisture effect on it in the humidity condition.

7 CHAPTER -2 EXPERIMENTATION 2.0 EXPERIMENTATION: The Chemo-capacitive soil sensor measures the soil moisture s by electric polarization and converts it to calibrated readings of soil water suction. The Chemo-capacitive soil sensor consists of two parallel plate electrodes implanted in reference granular matrix material, however the matrix material held in a plastic case. For initial testing, device is kept outside in intimate contact with different types of soil samples, and reaches equilibrium with the soil moisture. The adaptor excites the electrodes with 1-5V ac current with constant frequency of 1 khz and measures the electrical potential which decreases with increasing soil moisture. The data is than calculated and converted in to different sensor specification of soil moisture units. The purpose was to review the advances in the various soil water measuring techniques, and to consult on the procedures for adopting soil water measurement techniques in the future research.

As mentioned in chapter-1, a lot of work is reported on soil sensor as a functional material for soil moisture sensing applications. The literature survey indicated there is no report of soil modified with different fertilizers as an additive for soil fertility applications. In the present work different fertilizers applied soil samples are taken for moisture sensing applications is investigated.

35 soil and 15 gram bio fertilizer as compared to 0,5,10 and 20 gram of add mixture similar change can be verified in case of dielectric response [Fig.4.4(a)], But in case of add mixture of Aagashi soil and Urea [Fig.4.4(b)], the response is seen all the concentration but more is seen to 15 gram concentration samples of surface morphology show more void to the samples which indicates the hardness of the samples which is not useful to soil fertility Soil moisture content may be determined via its effect on dielectric constant by measuring the capacitance between two electrodes implanted in the soil. Where soil moisture is predominantly in the form of free water (e.g., in sandy soils), the dielectric constant is directly proportional to the moisture content. The probe is normally given a frequency excitation to permit measurement of the dielectric constant. The readout from the probe is not linear with water content and is influenced by soil type and soil temperature. Therefore, careful calibration is required and long-term stability of the calibration is questionable. In soil systems, rapid changes in moisture content strongly affects soil aeration status. In addition to changes in bulk conditions, there are micro sites or zone where diffusion of oxygen is restricted, such as small pores filled with water and the interior of aggregates where oxygen consumption is more rapid than oxygen diffusion. In areas were there is better access to soil air and pockets of easily

36 decomposed organics, and intense decomposition can deplete available oxygen and produce a number of redox-active organic compounds. From a global perspective redox is an important aspect of energy and carbon transfer. Carbon reduction and its subsequent oxidation fuel the biological world. Carbon reduction or gain in electrons is often called photosynthesis by the uninitiated and the reverse oxidation reaction is called respiration when applied to humans and other large animals. Microbial respiration accompanies or is synonymous with mineralization. Regardless of your perspective, redox reactions are important aspects of soil chemistry. Redox reactions change the speciation and solubility of many elements, create new compounds and alter the biochemistry of soils. In a complex mixture such as soils the interpretation of redox relationships is difficult. Since the dynamics of soil oxygen which drives the changes in redox potential are rapid, equilibrium may not be attained. From a thermo chemistry view point redox is not at equilibrium, because all of the energy yielding compounds by definition contain excess free energy and are unstable with respect to carbon dioxide and water. Processes which reduce oxygen levels and decrease redox potentials are driven by microbial consumption of oxygen. Conditions necessary for lowering redox potentials include, a source of decomposable organic materials (energy source), a population of microbes

37 capable of utilizing this energy source for metabolism, and a restriction on the resupply of oxygen. These requirements are not uniformly distributed in soils and sediments. Thus, redox reactions and redox potentials are not uniform throughout the soil matrix. In fact, redox potentials are highly variable and therefore are best used as an indication or relative status of the soil.

38 CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSION From the data and outcome obtained in chapter 3 and 4 is can concluded that the add mixture of waliv soil and 15 wt% of bio fertilizer is better as compare to 0,5,10 and 20 wt% of add mixture of waliv soil and Bio-fertilizer were as the selectivity response is seen to at 5 wt% samples. While in case of Aagashi soil, the add mixture of 5 wt% bio- fertilizer and Aagashi soil is batter as compare to add mixture of 0, 10, 15 and 20 wt% biofertilizer to maintain the soil fertility and water holding capacity however the selectivity is found to highest at 0 wt% sample. But in case of urea it reduces the quality of soil (i.e. both waliv and Aagashi) in all the combination. The Concluding data shown as fellows

Data indicates that the absorption coefficient of the soils varies with wavelength. It is observed that the waliv soil has the more absorption coefficient than the Aagashi soil tested with ought adding any fertilizer. The variations of the absorption coefficient in the range of wavelength studied were maximum for the waliv soil and least for the Aagashi soil. 4. After adding fertilizers ( Urea and Bio-fertilizer) Absorption coefficient reduces significantly. There is infinitesimally small variations of the absorption coefficient in the range of wavelength studied for both soils with both fertilizers. The remaining papers # 3 and papers # 4 etc. I will publish very soon with your acknowledge. Therefore, I am submitting herewith the final report of my project (vide letter No.F.No /07 (WRO) dated 16 th Jan 2008) along with Utilization Certificate of Rs.43500/-with Audited statement of expenditure.
