Precision agriculture (PA) is the use of advanced technologies to optimize field-level management. By leveraging data analytics, GPS, IoT, and various sensors, precision agriculture enables agronomists to make informed decisions, thereby enhancing crop yield and resource efficiency. This modern approach contrasts with traditional farming methods by emphasizing precision in monitoring, managing, ...
One of India’s leading crop protection companies has harnessed the power of remote sensing technology to enhance its interactions with farmers. By offering valuable insights into crop management, covering aspects such as nutrition, irrigation, and pest and disease control. The company has improved the efficacy of crop protection strategies and strengthened its relationships with the farming ...
Smart irrigation helps maintain soil health by preventing excessive waterlogging and optimizing soil moisture levels for healthy root development. ...

It is typically expressed as a percentage or a volumetric ratio, representing the volume of water per unit volume of soil. Soil moisture levels fluctuate significantly over time and space, influenced by factors such as rainfall, evapotranspiration, irrigation, and soil type.Measuring soil ...
III. Benefits of Using Soil EC Sensors Precision Irrigation: Soil EC sensors enable precision irrigation by providing real-time data on soil moisture levels. ...
As the demand for freshstrawberries has increased over the years, so have the costs of producing theseberries. Due to this increase in demand and expense, many strawberry growershave begun looking at different strategies for growing strawberries more ...
In this Case Study, Andy Richards, the Grounds Manager at the Haileybury School and a pioneer of data-driven turf maintenance, explains how wireless soil moisture sensors helped him keep Shrewsbury School’s grounds in tip-top shape. ...
A greenhouse organic tomato and cucumber grower saved his crop during extreme drought with Sensoterra sensors, and improved yield with soil moisture data. With extreme droughts occuring more frequently, Danny Monté, Forecast and Quality Administration and Quality Control Manager at AC Hartman BV, relies on Sensoterra soil ...
” Bullock is collaborating on another project with AAFC, the Canadian Space Agency and NASA to improve the quality of the data collected under various conditions and the delivery of timely and reliable soil moisture estimates from SMAP. ...
With farm-specific soil moisture and rainfall data you can develop a baseline of crop-available water on your fields. ...
In July, Kendall Gee of Crop Intelligence, and Curtis Russell with Taurus Ag Marketing https://www.taurus.ag/team/ met in a canola field southeast of Regina to discuss how soil moisture data can help inform farm decision making throughout the growing season. The video includes a walk-through of live data from Crop Intelligence ...
Dynamic irrigation scheduling (based on crop need, soil moisture and weather) optimises irrigation application to ensure fruit quality, yield and profitability. ...
FutMon project Delta‐T Profile Probes have been installed at four sites across the U.K. to provide soil moisture data as part of FutMon, an EU Life+ project. The aim of FutMon is to create a Europe‐ wide long term forest monitoring system. ...
I was introduced to Crop Intelligence and soil moisture probes in the spring of 2018 by Ryan Hutchison. That fall, I joined South Country Equipment as a Crop Intelligence Agronomist and put two stations on my family farm in SE Saskatchewan for the 2019 season. ...
Developed by B. K. Bellingham, Soil Scientist at Stevens, this is an excellent resource for anyone installing soil moisture sensors and interpreting soil moisture data. Here’s what’s inside: Soil Geomorphology and Properties Soil ...
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. ...
This graph shows data from a 24 inch soil moisture probe with sensors every 4 inches (blue toned lines). ...
The ongoing ADHB-funded research project (currently in year two) is taking place at Neame Lea Nursery in Spalding, Lincolnshire, and uses deficit irrigation systems based on Delta-T Devices’s SM150T Soil Moisture Sensor, GP2 Data Logger, and DeltaLINK-Cloudremote access data service, to precisely control growing conditions. ...
Water and nutrients are used most efficiently when your crops have access to the amount of water the crop needs and the soil can hold. This article describes how to use the data provided by soil moisture probes to more effectively manage your farm. ...
In this network, some of the longest records of soil moisture are at three Idaho SNOTEL sites. This study was conducted to determine if 14 years of soil moisture data at 3 SNOTEL sites measured with the Stevens HydraProbe could statistically improve the stream flow forecasts at a river gage operated by the US ...
