Healthy soil makes for optimal crops and today, there are seemingly countless ways to monitor and test soil health, from physical samples to sap flow and moisture monitoring, aerial imagery, and beyond. Here are some of the most recent developments, as well as how technologies are being used in the field. Fruition Sciences Precision agriculture company Fruition ...
The technology includes carbon dioxide (CO2) monitors and controllers, soil moisture sensors, plant based sensors such as sap flow and dendrometers, and nutrient sensors such as EC and TDS sensors. ...
In order to calibrate the sap flow gauge, the sap flow rate was compared to the leaf T determined by the weighing method. The sap flow value was measured per hour for 3 days and the mean of the hourly values for each day was taken as the daily value to avoid the influence of hydraulic ...
In this study, transpiration rates of two typical xerophytic shrubs, Caragana korshinskii and Artemisia ordosica, were investigated during the growing season (April–October) from 2008 to 2012 in the Tengger Desert, a revegetated desert area in China. Gas exchange techniques, sap flow measurements, and the crop evapotranspiration minus micro-lysimeter ...
