Introduction Population increase and the improvement of living standards brought about by development will result in a sharp increase in food demand during the next decades. At the same time, water inputs will have to be reduced in response to water scarcity and environmental concerns. Water productivity is projected to increase through gains in… read more »

Introduction With Precision Variable Rate Irrigation growers can record crop yields and make significant irrigation water savings. The need for uniform and accurate water delivery to the crop throughout its lifecycle is essential to maximizing yield and maintaining the health of the plant. Water is saved through matching irrigation rate to soil characteristics and avoiding… read more »
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]… read more »

Paper Introduction Soil moisture is an important property for agriculture, indicative of how much water is available for plants. Therefore, its measurement can be utilized for decision-making in irrigation. Continuous in situ measurement of the soil moisture started around 1940 with the electrical resistance method using a gypsum block. Electrodes in the block measure the… read more »
