Accurate soil moisture content measurements are vital to precision irrigation management. Remote sensing using the microwave spectrum (such as GPS signals) has been used for measuring large area soil moisture contents. In our previous work, we estimated surface soil moisture contents for bare soil using a GPS Delay Mapping Receiver (DMR) developed by NASA. However, the effect of vegetation was ...

The goal of this publication is to provide a practical guideline for irrigation young (1–3 years old) and adult (>3 peach trees cultivated in Florida. This document based on field research water uptake conducted by UF/IFAS. first section describes tree growth stages their respective crop demand central second third sections present information preparing year-round scheduling trees, respectiv...

The present study aimed at investigating scientific irrigation scheduling (SIS) for the sustainable production of olive groves. SIS allows farmers to schedule water rotation in their fields abate crop stress and maximize yields, which could be achieved through precise monitoring soil moisture. For this purpose, used three kinds moisture sensors, including tensiometer irrometer gypsum blocks mea...
