Original Abstract Submitted
To provide a moisture sensor controlling apparatus, a moisture sensor controlling system, and a moisture sensor controlling method that make it possible to reduce power consumption more effectively. A moisture sensor controlling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a sensor state selecting section. The sensor state selecting section controls an operation state of at least one moisture sensor on the basis of environment information regarding an environment of soil in which crops are planted, and on the basis of position information regarding a position of the at least one moisture sensor, the at least one moisture sensor being installed in the soil and detecting a moisture amount in the soil.
