2. Soil moisture sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture_sensor

   A simple soil moisture sensor for gardeners. Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. [1] Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant ...

3. Irrigation controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation_controller

   Most automatic irrigation valves are diaphragm valves in which the water above the diaphragm must be discharged for the valve to open. In a hydraulic system, the controller and valves are connected via small plastic tubes approximately 4 mm (¼ in) in diameter. The controller opens the tube connected to the valve, allowing that valve to open.

4. Expo to test soil-water sensors - AOL

   Reinke Irrigation and its business partner, CropX, are marketing a sensor that can put that information literally at a farmer's fingertips. On Thursday, the businesses delivered six of the ...

5. Frequency domain sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_domain_sensor

   Capacitance probe, or fringe capacitance sensor.Capacitance probes use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of the soil. The volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivity of the soil because the dielectric constant of water (80) is much greater than the other constituents of the soil (mineral soil: 4, organic matter: 4, air: 1).

6. Irrigation scheduling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation_scheduling

   Irrigation scheduling is the process used by irrigation system managers to determine the correct frequency and duration of watering. The following factors may be taken into consideration: Precipitation rate of the irrigation equipment – how quickly the water is applied, often expressed in inches or mm per hour.

7. Soil moisture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture

   The Global Climate Observing System specified soil water as one of the 50 Essential Climate Variables (ECVs). [18] Soil water can be measured in situ with soil moisture sensors or can be estimated at various scales and resolution: from local or wifi measures via sensors in the soil to satellite imagery that combines data capture and ...
