How weather stations can help make more informed crop management decisions
Up your defenses against unpredictable Mother Nature with an on-farm weather station’s accurate weather monitoring, forecasting and historical data There’s a long-enduring sentiment in Canadian agriculture that when farmers gather, they’re usually talking about the weather. There’s a good reason for this. After all, there are many things you can control on the farm from ...

Prediction of daily crop reference evapotranspiration (ET0) values through a least-squares support vector machine model
Real-time prediction of daily reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) is the basis for estimating crop evapotranspiration and for computing crop irrigation requirements. In recent years, least-squares support vector machines (LSSVMs) have been applied for forecasting in many fields of engineering. In this paper, LSSVMs are applied to forecast ET0 using public weather forecasting data (minimum and ...

Improved Agricultural Irrigation Scheduling Using a Soil Water Content Sensor - Case Study
Abstract The key to scheduling irrigation timing and amounts is determining moisture depletion in the soil. Two common methods include tracking crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and tracking the water content with a sensor buried in the soil. In Colorado, a popular online tool that estimates the ETc for a variety of well-irrigated crops is the Colorado Agricultural Meteorological Network (CoAgMet). ...
