Irrigation Scheduling Using Soil Moisture Sensors

Developing Irrigation Conservation Strategies Using Soil Moisture Sensors and ET

Optimizing Soil Moisture Uniformity and Irrigation Management

This research is a study on the relationship of irrigation water treatments and soil moisture distribution uniformity (DU). Soil moisture distribution was based on long-term data sets that were collected during wet and dry soil conditions (from permanent wilting point to field capacity) using a novel electromagnetic sensor-based platform moving inside subsurface horizontal access-tubes. The irr...

Soil Moisture and Temperature sensor based intelligent irrigation water pump controlling system using PIC 16F72 Microcontroller

This paper aims in providing a user friendly, reliable and automated water pumping system. The paper aims in designing a system which is capable of detecting moisture level in the soil and capable of taking the decision of switching ON/OFF water pump. The system also uses temperature sensor to detect the temperature and automatically the fan speed can be controlled like coolants. In this paper ...

Soil Moisture Sensing via Swept Frequency Based Microwave Sensors

There is a need for low-cost, high-accuracy measurement of water content in various materials. This study assesses the performance of a new microwave swept frequency domain instrument (SFI) that has promise to provide a low-cost, high-accuracy alternative to the traditional and more expensive time domain reflectometry (TDR). The technique obtains permittivity measurements of soils in the freque...
