Sentek Soil Moisture Monitoring [Student]
Introduction
Sentek provides sensors that monitor soil moisture allowing for precise irrigation sceduling and variable irrigation applications. The growth of prime agricutural product is optimised by the scientific insights that are verifiable and repeatable by the sensor data collection process. For environmental, confident decisions are made about project commencement and compliance to protect multinational brands[1]
Sentek soil probes use capacitance based technology to provide near continuous measurements of the soil profile and its moisture content. With high resolution measuring, they also enable 1/100th % change repeatability. Soil moisture probes allow user defined or site specific calibration equations to be applied to each individual sensor. This ability to account for different soil types delivers even greater accuracy – meaning more timely responses, better land control, more valuable research projects and improved crop management. As well, they are designed for undisturbed installation without the need for messy slurries.
