ABSTRACT
Rational water use amid global freshwater shortages requires the implementation of innovative solutions for soil moisture monitoring. One of the most effective tools in this field is the high-precision contact moisture meter, which provides prompt and accurate information about the moisture regime in the plant root zone. This article presents the results of experimental studies on the use of modern moisture meters under regulated irrigation conditions. A comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity, and stability of measurements, along with the impact of the acquired data on decision-making in irrigation management. The results confirm that the use of such sensors can reduce water consumption by up to 25–30% without compromising crop productivity, thereby supporting sustainable water resource management. Scientific conclusions and practical recommendations are provided for agroecosystem applications.
