Soil Information Monitoring System using Cellular Phone
Masaru MIZOGUCHI*, Masahiro MIKAMI** and Satoru ISHII*** Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering, The University of Tokyo,+῕+῕+ Yayoi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo ++-῕20/1, Japan** Technology&Future, Inc., .,῕++ Megurida-cho Kodaira, Tokyo +21῕**+-, JapanAbstract
A prototype system for monitoring soil information was developed using a cellular phone.

We

named the system SIMS-CP (Soil Information Monitoring System using Cellular Phone). In theprototype system, soil water content and soil temperature at six depths in a ﬁeld were monitoredfrom a remote laboratory. The system will be quite promising as a tool that virtually converts
a ﬁeld experiment into a laboratory experiment.

The present paper gives an outline of SIMS-CP

and its potential applications in ﬁeld science.
Key words : soil information, soil water, cellular phone, sensor, ﬁeld science!" }3~MSj >e hi>j1k+    
