A portable soil microbial fuel cell for sensing soil water content
Abstrak
Soil moisture and irrigation schedules generate impressionable agricultural productivity. In recent years, Soil Microbial Fuel Cell (SMFC) has been recently used as a sustainable technology because of its highly effective applications in power generation, environment pollution treatments, and sensing. Controlling the moisture of soil has a heavy impact on agricultural management. In this study, we set up a new design of SMFC for sensing soil water content. The SMFC is portable, compact, and easily installed. The SMFC operated at four states of soil moisture of 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% soil water holding capacity (SWHC) was investigated in 25 days. The SMFC showed the highest humid sensitivity in the range from 60% to 80% SWHC. In the range of less than 60% SWHC, the soil moisture was not enough to activate and maintain the SMFC operation.
