Abstract: Soil moisture measurement relating to the crop irrigation directly, which affects the yield of crops, is a long-term and arduous task. Three kinds of the major soil moisture sensors based on the theory of dielectric at present were summarized in this paper. Their measuring principle, calibration method, influencing factor and performance were expounded. The problems in the process of using those sensors were analyzed and their development trends were given in order to provide some reference for the agricultural technology department and water conservancy department in the process of selecting those types of soil moisture sensor products or measuring the soil moisture.
