Multisensor Capacitance Probes for Simultaneously Monitoring Rice Field Soil-Water-Crop-Ambient Conditions
Abstract: Multisensor capacitance probes (MCPs) have traditionally been used for soil moisture monitoring and irrigation scheduling. This paper presents a new application of these probes, namely the simultaneous monitoring of ponded water level, soil moisture, and temperature profile, conditions which are particularly important for rice crops in temperate growing regions and for rice grown with ...

Irrigation and Nitrogen Best Management Practices Under Drip Irrigated Vegetable Production
Abstract Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several ...

Summer Irrigation Makes the Crop
Summer Irrigation Makes the Crop Summertime. At this point in the growing season, fruit for tree and vine crops has long been set. Now, the challenge is to bring as much of this yield potential to harvest, and at the desired quality. Irrigation management is crucial to achieve this goal. For most crops, irrigation should provide readily available soil moisture continuously so that fruit and ...
