Climate change, a storm in the coffee cup
Coffee is the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) confirms ‘Coffee is the most widely traded tropical product, with up to 25 million farming households globally accounting for 80 per cent of worlds output’. In 2020, 87% of the global coffee production originated from the top 10 biggest coffee-producing nations, says ...

Benefits of Integrated Soil Sensor:
An integrated soil sensor is a device that measures various soil parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, pH level, and nutrient levels in real-time. The sensor is embedded into the soil to provide continuous data on the soil conditions, allowing farmers and researchers to make informed decisions about their crops and soil management practices.The need for an integrated soil sensor arises ...

Evaluation of zone soil sampling approaches for phosphorus and potassium based on corn and soybean response to fertilization
Soil sampling approaches have been compared based on soil-test variation. This study evaluated sampling approaches for P and K based on yield response to fertilization. Strip trials were established on four fields for P and three fields for K managed with corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) rotations and evaluated 3 or 4 yr (27 site-years). Treatments replicated three to four ...

JXCT Soil tensiometer
A soil tension meter is an instrument used to measure the tension or suction force within soil. Soil tension, also known as soil moisture tension, is the force exerted by the soil particles as they hold water. This tension affects the ability of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Soil tension meters are important tools for irrigation management and soil research.The basic ...

Probes reveal soil moisture’s many secrets
Soil moisture probes have been around for a long time, but they remain one of those mysterious agricultural instruments that only a small handful of people attempt to understand or use. “Part of the problem is people don’t trust the information,” says Ryan Hutchison of South Country Equipment in Saskatchewan. He was at Crop Connect 2019 in Winnipeg to give a presentation ...

Monitoring and forecasting soil moisture
Real-Time Technology Can Impact Decision Making On-Farm And Across Regional Landscapes. Soil moisture is not only important for crop production, input decisions and yield outcomes – it is an important determinant of runoff volume, flood risk and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture soil, such as nitrous oxide (N2O). Advancements in moisture monitoring and forecasting, along with the ...
