Soil moisture monitoring for better irrigation and crop nutrition in Cucumbers
Soil moisture monitoring is often thought of as a water saving technology. While this is true, there are other significant benefits from soil moisture monitoring. Crop nutrition is intrinsically linked to crop irrigation. Many nutrients move quickly with water or only move through plants when water is available. Nitrogen (N) is released in water and too much irrigation can result in nitrogen ...
