Field Server (FS) is a multi-functional sensor node, which consists of CPU (Web server), Network camera and various sensors including soil moisture  sensor. The FS enables us monitor soil information in a remote crop field in real time through Internet. In this study, we will demonstrate monitoring of soil water movement in a hilslope cabbage field in Tsumagoi, Japan using the Field Server System, and discuss the availability and the possibility of the system as a powerful tool for up-scaling of soil physical information from point to region.
