As the climate change and water scarcity issues keep growing, homeowners and business owners are in need of finding ways to better green their lawn. Their traditional sprinkler systems waste a lot of water by over-watering or improper scheduling, hence an increased water bill to pay and also harming the environment. Enter the smart sprinklers system an innovative technology that does not only ...
Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Crop Intelligence, a cutting-edge platform that allows customers to maximize the use of the water available to their crop. This collaboration is part of Decisive Farming’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for farmers by providing access to the best tools and technologies ...
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 Finapp probes is representative of around 5 to 20 ...
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 ...

Since 2013, Blake Sanden, the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) irrigation and soils farm advisor for Kern County, and with several colleagues, have been running a study on the new imaging technology, which Sanden says can lead to irrigation efficiency. ...
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 Controller. ...
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 ...
With a new smart-agriculture technology, he could access soil moisture readings right from his phone, with updates every three hours. ...
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. ...
PlantCare The PlantCare Mini-Logger is a maintenance-free sensor which records soil moisture and soil temperature. The PlantControl D is used for the wireless reception and recording of soil moisture levels and soil temperature. ...
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 moisture level, the sensor is ...
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. ...
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 ...
Through its Irrigation ManagerTM software application, Soil Moisture System, and Pump Monitoring and Control growers can make better irrigation decisions that improve their bottom line. ...
Delta-T Devices is pleased to announce the arrival of the SM150 Soil Moisture Sensor which can be used with the new HH150 Reader to create a very cost effective method for monitoring irrigation efficiency. The SM150 Sensor has been designed for repeated insertion into soils and substrates, the sharp pins causing minimal ...
Probing soil moisture and building soil carbon will be key topics explored at the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Update at Cummins on August 11. GRDC Southern Regional Panel chair David Shannon said growers on the lower Eyre Peninsula often dealt with ‘difficult’ soils and were keen for information to assist them in managing their soils. “The lower Eyre Peninsula is a very ...
SANTFA and Rural Directions Pty Ltd, are kicking off a project focussing on Soil Moisture Probes as a management tool for broadacre cropping enterprises, which will run from July 2009 through to May 2010. The project is about using soil moisture monitoring as a guide for making informed decisions in relation to ...
