Overcome the orographic limits of the area, characterized by rocky conformations, which make it difficult to measure soil moisture with traditional probes. ?? Using two CRNS Finapp probes, measure the entire mountain slope. ?? Result: The soil moisture measurement of the ...
The Delta-T Devices ML3 ThetaKit makes it possible to rapidly check irrigation uniformity and turf characteristics. Regular measurement of soil moisture content allows continual assessment of grass health, giving early warning of potential problems - and enabling preventative action before damaging physical change in the turf has occurred. In the video below, soil scientist and Delta-T Devices ...
Our second video featuring Dr Mark Else (NIAB EMR’s Head of Crop Science) looks in detail at how the NIAB EMR research teams use the Delta-T Devices WET-2 and SM150T Sensors to monitor soil moisture, temperature and pore EC (electrical conductivity) within their WET Centre strawberry ...
An awful lot of the business of farming comes down to educated guesswork, preparedness for the unexpected, and more than a fair bit of plain old good luck. Thankfully, technology is taking much of this uncertainty out of agriculture. With sensors that determine soil moisture levels, software that pinpoints specific areas of the field for treatment, and platforms that offer accurate and highly ...

A record-breaking 2 billion pounds were exported in 2017. Water-Saving Measures More than 70% of California almond orchards now irrigate efficiently with flexible tubes that stretch along the rows of trees, a system known as micro-irrigation. ...
Delta-T Devices has released a new Soil Moisture Measurement Catalogue for 2018. It has been revised and expanded to include new sections on the SM150T Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor, SDI-12 PR2 Profile Probe, DeltaLINK-Cloud online data management, and SDI-12 capability for the GP2 Data Logger and ...
He spent US$8,200 for LoRa stations with soil moisture sensors, valve controllers, LoRa gateway and cellular backhaul. ...
Soil moisture sensing through either contact or remote technology captures soil-plant-water information that relates closely with plant water availability and use. Innovations in remote sensing technologies can inform plant health assessments and more. The “Soil Moisture Sensing for Crop Health Assessment and Management” symposium planned at the Resilience Emerging from Scarcity ...
During most of this last year, Suwannee County farmer Sammy Starling never had to guess when he did—or didn’t—need to water his corn. With a new smart-agriculture technology, he could access soil moisture readings right from his phone, with updates every three hours. This information helped Starling determine when to turn on the irrigation system and when to skip a cycle. ...
Semios, the provider of real-time agricultural information for precision farming, offers two years of free soil moisture monitoring for their customers to optimize irrigation efficiencies, improving crop quality and yield. ...
Crop irrigation uses more than 70% of the world’s water, and thus, improving irrigation efficiency is decisive to sustain the food demand from a fast-growing world population.* In future measuring and monitoring soil moisture will get more and more important to meet the needs of an increasing demand for food. ...
PlantCare’s worldwide patented sensor technology is based on the microthermic measurement of soil moisture. A specially developed felt material in moisture balance with the soil acts as the interface between the surrounding soil and the sensor. To measure the ...
A consortium led by Alterra has recently started a project called “Salt TOlerant Potatoes improve water and food security - STOP”. Together with our partners we will extend and test the existing Dacom soil moisture monitoring system with a new salinity sensor. Use of this advisory system will prevent both crop drought and salinity stress, while minimizing water losses. It will enable ...
The new ML3 Soil Moisture and Temperature sensor represents the latest step in the evolution of Delta-T Devices ThetaProbe series - offering extra features, improved performance and a new look, without any price increase over its predecessor. With its 1% accuracy the research-grade ThetaProbe continues to set the standard for soil moisture measurement - whilst the addition of a thermistor sensor ...
