How do soil moisture sensors work, and what is the difference between a point and profile measurement? Soil moisture sensors measure the water content in the soil and can be used to estimate the amount of stored water in the soil horizon. Soil ...
Alistair Neill, a Prime Agriculture potato agronomist based in Norfolk, shares his four essential tips on getting potato crops off to the best start possible, beginning with ensuring good crop establishment.1. Cut back on cultivations Soil compaction can jeopardise potato establishment and yield because it restricts root growth, consequently limiting water and nutrient uptake. ...
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 moisture uptake by plant from soil is a key process for plant growth and movement of water in the soil–plant system. ...
A wheat grazing model was used to simulate the systems for seven SR (0–3 head ha–1), five planting dates, three climate scenarios, and two initial soil moisture profiles. Net returns were estimated for three representative markets. ...
