It is a great sustainable way of growing with water - expect potential savings between 70% and 90% depending on the type of crop and your set-up. ...
Delta-T Devices offer a comprehensive range of sensors for measuring soil moisture content, soil water potential, soil temperature and pore water EC, including multi parameter sensors – such as the WET-2. ...
Aquaculture production in Zambia has been on a positive growth path showing a steady increase in aquaculture production as compared to a stagnation in the quantities of capture fisheries. With an abundance of natural waters and land, potential growth of the aquaculture sector in Zambia remains massive. ...
"These schedules often fail to take into account that supplemental rainfall may reduce the need for irrigation water before the nut sizing period in humid climates," Wells noted. "A plant-based measurement, such as stem water potential, should be a straightforward indicator of plant water stress and of the need for irrigation ...
“Selecting startups that show the most potential for disruption and growth is never easy,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. ...
The new EQ3 Equitensiometer from Delta-T Devices uses class leading ThetaProbe technology to avoid the many problems of water-filled tensiometers. It is maintenance free and measures water potential (matric potential) in the range 0 to -1000 kPa. ...

Millions of hectares of farmland in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America have been leased to foreign countries, sovereign wealth funds, and private corporations over the past half-decade with little to no explicit legal agreement on how water can and will be used on the acquired properties. A new report from the Stockholm International Water Institute ...
"More than 1 million acres of CRP are expiring this year in North DakotaandSouth Dakota alone, which could have devastating impacts on waterfowl populations, as well as potentially worsening water quality and increasing the severity of flooding," said Terry Noto, an environmental lawyer and CRP expert who consults for EDF. ...
This is a relationship that connects the energy status of soil water to the soil water content. The soil water energy status, or potential, is the driver behind water movement in soils. Potential is also what plant roots must overcome to extract water from the soil. Plants wilt ...
The new method adds a fiberglass filter between the samples to improve water flow between the samples, and uses two sets of diffusing tracers instead of one. ...
The report is the first to break down China's agricultural water resources into 'blue water' and 'green water', based on concepts initiated by Swedish scientist Malin Falkenmark. Blue water refers to water stored in aquifers, lakes and dams, and green water is the moisture stored in soil, which ...
'In terms of size, these forests, which play major economic and climatic roles, constitute a vast water basin and potential carbon reserve. But unfortunately, their existence is under threat mainly due to factors relating to poverty and governance crises, including prolonged conflicts,' he said. ...
