Soil moisture refers to the amount of water held in the soil matrix. ...
What is a soil tensimeter？ Soil tensimeter uses the principle of negative pressure to measure soil moisture and studies soil moisture movement from the perspective of energy. ...
Particularly in dry regions, the scarcity of high-quality fresh water has heightened the importance of urban runoff water re-use, leading as well to the improvement of water use efficiency through the surface drip irrigation method. Given the limited research on wetting front migration under a surface drip irrigation emitter, ...
The Stevens pF Sensor is a unique matric potential probe, which is used to measure the soil water potential of a soil - the force with which water is held within the soil and how much energy is needed to overcome this force to extract water from the ...
Abstract Irrigation water management practices could greatly benefit from using soil moisture sensors that accurately measure soil water content or potential. ...
A major challenge in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production is to achieve the dual goal of increasing food production and saving water. This study aimed to investigate if alternate wetting and drying regimes could improve root and shoot growth and consequently increase grain yield and water use efficiency (WUE). ...
Objectives were to install, calibrate, and assess soil water characteristics of paired weighing lysimeters at Saint Joseph, LA. ...
A major challenge in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in China is to cope with a declining availability of fresh water without compromising grain yield and grain quality. This study was designed to determine if alternate wetting and moderate soil drying during grain filling could maintain grain yield and grain quality. ...
To understand the process of coupled heat and water transport, the relationship between temperature and soil water potential must be known. ...
