Soil Moisture Sensors for Greater Insights into Crop-Water-Soil Dynamics

Explore the world of soil moisture sensors and their impact on crop-water-soil dynamics in this 38-minute webinar presented by Peter Buss from Sentek Pty Ltd. Gain valuable insights into how soil water and weather data are utilized for management and research in plant production and hydrology. Delve into topics such as soil profiles, irrigation timing, infiltration speed, water logging, and stress days. Examine real-world examples, including USDA applications and wet onion cultivation. Learn about multi-sensor probes, cloud mapping, and graphical representations of data. Participate in a Q&A session covering optimum conditions, regulated deficit irrigation, and site-specific calibration. Discover the applications for small crop farmers, cost considerations, social aspects, and practical implementations. Explore custom KCs and their significance in agricultural management.
