Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture is excited to unveil a powerful new connection between ChrysaLabs’ innovative soil insights solution with our Farm At Hand platform. This connection allows farmers to receive real-time soil sampling results directly into their Farm At Hand accounts, providing them with precise, actionable insights within minutes of ...
Overcome the orographic limits of the area, characterized by rocky conformations, which make it difficult to measure soil moisture with traditional probes. ?? Using two CRNS Finapp probes, measure the entire mountain slope. ?? Result: The soil moisture measurement of the Finapp probes is representative of ...
The AFS will retrieve a 7/8 in. diameter soil core from 0 to 12 in. deep. It is important to keep in mind that present soil conditions may affect attainable sampling depths. ...
When to irrigate, how much to irrigate are frequent questions that affect acriculture. how much water is contained in the snow and therefore how much will be in the reservoirs in spring and summer? is soil moisture high, is there a risk of debris flow? on average 30% of water is lost in the national grid how can losses be pre-located? apparently they are all different and distant ...
Thankfully, technology is taking much of this uncertainty out of agriculture. With sensors that determine soil moisture levels, software that pinpoints specific areas of the field for treatment, and platforms that offer accurate and highly localized weather forecasts less is left to chance – leading to more efficient deployment of resources, improved yields, and better ...

But because of the temporal or seasonal effects on ground gas migration, monitoring has to be undertaken over a potentially wide geographic area, lasting several months. Sampling techniques like soil probes, for example, which require subsequent laboratory analysis (using thermal desorption and gas chromatography) are clearly labour intensive and costly. ...
We may soon find ourselves able to evaluate moisture data from soil probes just by talking to devices in our homes, offices and vehicles. ...
While it is now targeted toward getting the autonomous data collection and transmission down, the future potential to connect to other data-gathering sensors such as soil moisture probes or crop health programs is exciting, he says. Walker says MKC is looking into the potential for the cooperative to purchase and locate autonomous drones that could fly fields ...
By removing the need for sensors, there is no capital outlay and no equipment to maintain which is a common problem with moisture probes for example. Sensor based approach to irrigation scheduling is often limited by the number of probes and the unique soil profile that surrounds each probe, which leads to isolated, disparate ...
Soil moisture sensing through either contact or remote technology captures soil-plant-water information that relates closely with plant water availability and use. ...
A new study published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal investigated the field performance of 5 soil moisture instruments in heavy clay soils in the RISMA network. The HydraProbe outperformed TDR and capacitance-based soil sensors in terms of stability and accuracy in Manitoba’s agricultural ...
VentEko is one of the first European companies that have acquired a unique automatic laser-induced fluorescence system (LIF) for oil product detection in polluted soil. Presently there are only about ten such equipments in the world. Operating principle LIF operation principle is based on soil laser irradiation through a special probing device ...
But no one is quite sure exactly when that will be. Sutron has installed a soil temperature monitoring station in the Northern Virginia area, which will provide a good indicator for the entire DC metro area. ...
The test method is a procedure for estimating in-place values of density and water content of soils and soil-aggregates based on electrical measurements. ...
FutMon project: Delta-T Profile Probes have been installed at four sites across the U.K. to provide soil moisture data as part of FutMon, an EU Life+ project. ...
Their study evaluated the sensors in terms of volumetric soil water content estimation, probe-to-probe signal variability, response to fertilizer-induced salinity, soil volume sampled by the probes, sensitivity to pockets of air or dry soil, response to compaction (bulk density changes), and ...
Making better use of soil moisture and nitrogen will be a major focus of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Update at Jamestown on August 19. GRDC Southern Regional Panel chair David Shannon said improving efficiencies in the use of moisture and nutrients was an important investment for the GRDC and keenly sought by growers in South Australia’s Mid North. “While the ...
Probing soil moisture and building soil carbon will be key topics explored at the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Update at Cummins on August 11. GRDC Southern Regional Panel chair David Shannon said growers on the lower Eyre Peninsula often dealt with ‘difficult’ soils and were keen for information to assist ...
SANTFA and Rural Directions Pty Ltd, are kicking off a project focussing on Soil Moisture Probes as a management tool for broadacre cropping enterprises, which will run from July 2009 through to May 2010. ...
Up to $108,850 - Climate resilient horticulture for the Gympie district - Mary River Catchment Co-ordinating CommitteeThis project will prepare growers of macadamias and beans for a changing climate through improved groundcover management to reduce the impact of soil erosion due to increased severity of storms and rainfall. Up to $238,350 - Preparing dairy farmers for climate ...
