Benefits of minimum tillage case study
In Hungary, the MARGINS project is being conducted near Lake Balaton - the largest lake in Central Europe. The lake is renowned for its beauty and wildlife. Its surrounding hilly landscape is covered with rich brown forest soil. This landscape is, however, prone to soil erosion -in particular, rills develop when soil is weakened by excessive tillage and exposed to intense rainstorms. If not ...

Application and principle of soil moisture sensor
Soil moisture sensor is a device for measuring soil moisture content. It plays a vital role in agricultural and environmental monitoring, allowing accurate assessment of soil conditions and timely intervention. In this article, we will explore the application and principle of soil moisture sensors. Soil moisture sensors work by measuring the electrical conductivity of soil. When soil contains ...

Evaluation of a Direct-Coupled TDR for Determination of Soil Water Content and Bulk Electrical Conductivity
Introduction Signal degradation in coaxial cables and interconnects is a long-standing problem in the practical deployment and calibration of time domain reflectometry (TDR) for soil water content monitoring. Acclima, Inc.1 has recently commercialized a TDR sensor (TDR-315) with all electronics required for waveform acquisition embedded in the probe head thereby avoiding signal degradation. Our ...

Evaluation of a Direct-Coupled TDR for Determination of 1 Soil Water Content and Bulk Electrical Conductivity
Signal degradation in coaxial cables and interconnects is a long-standing problem in the practical deployment of time domain reflectometry (TDR) for soil water monitoring. Acclima, Inc. has recently commercialized a TDR sensor (TDR-315) with all electronics required for waveform acquisition embedded in the probe head. We calibrated ten TDR-315 sensors and conventional TDR for apparent ...

Tillage requirements for integrating winter-annual grazing in peanut production: plant water status and productivity
The use of crop rotation systems involving winter-annual grazing can help peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) producers increase profitability, although winter-annual grazing could result in excessive soil compaction, which can severely limit yields. We conducted a 3-yr field study on a Dothan loamy sand in southeastern Alabama to develop a conservation tillage system for integrating peanut with ...
