Metal Oxide Sensors These sensors use a metal oxide layer (such as iridium oxide) as the sensing element. ...
Delta-T Devices is providing soil sensors and data loggers to the British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) for use in important drought and water deficit research projects. On average, 59% of UK sugar beet is grown on sandy or sand-based soils, making the crop particularly vulnerable to drought and water deficit. ...
Matt Pitt of Cranfield University has a deep interest in modelling hydraulic data and is part-way through a fascinating PhD project centred on the ways in which various tillage regimes affect the long-term properties of soil. “My research aims to assess if non-inversion tillage practices improve water transport in soil during and near saturation – where percolation leads to ...
1. Problem Statement Ensuring optimal yield of photovoltaic power plants requires optimization of maintenance activities such as cleaning. It is important to know WHEN to send crews to perform site cleaning which requires knowing how much energy production is lost to soiling. The amount of generation that can be recovered is difficult to ascertain and can be regionally dependent within a site. ...
Remediation methods, such as soil vapour extraction and in situ chemical oxidation are challenging in cold, low-permeability conditions, highlighting the need for alternative approaches. Using naturally occurring microorganisms to deplete hydrocarbons is attractive. However, it is challenging to repeatably execute this remediation technique successfully across multiple sites due to nuanced site ...

Agriculture has always been a fundamental part of human civilization, providing the food and resources necessary for survival. However, as the global population continues to rise and climate change presents new challenges, the need for efficient agriculture farm management has become increasingly critical. Implementing modern technologies and innovative practices can help optimize productivity, ...
Precision agriculture is a revolutionary approach that leverages technology to optimize farming practices. Precision agriculture systems offer a modern solution to these age-old problems, enabling farms to enhance productivity, reduce waste, and improve sustainability. ...
Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization for generations, providing the essential resources needed for survival and growth. As global populations continue to rise, the demand for food production has never been greater. Traditional farming methods, once sufficient, are now struggling to meet the demands of modern food production. New-age techniques in crop management provide ...
Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD) refers to microbial and physical processes that reduce hydrocarbon content in the subsurface. Microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons deep in the soil and rapidly deplete available oxygen and other electron acceptors in the soil and groundwater. At that point, microorganisms begin to ferment hydrocarbons, producing organic acids. These organic acids are used by a ...

The concept of crop rotation dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations such as the Mesopotamians and Egyptians employing rudimentary forms of rotation to sustain their agricultural endeavors. The basic principle behind crop rotation is alternating the types of crops grown in a particular field over time to improve soil fertility, control pests, and maximize yields. In traditional ...
How do soil moisture sensors work, and what is the difference between a point and profile measurement? Soil moisture sensors measure the water content in the soil and can be used to estimate the amount of stored water in the soil horizon. Soil moisture sensors ...
In recent years, advanced soil sensor systems have revolutionized the way we monitor and assess soil health parameters. ...
