            Abstract : 
Soil moisture not only is an important parameter in precision agriculture, but is the main parameter in crop condition monitoring. We developed the method of soil moisture monitoring and evaluation with the new remote sensing platform, modified the existing indexes of PDI and MPDI, established inversion model and invert the soil moisture.
