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 »
