A predictive model for time domain reflectometry soil water content and salinity measurements

Creator:

Flugstad, Benjamin A.

Abstract:

Soil water content and water potential are two important parameters in determining the status of water in the soil. Improvement in the ability to measure these parameters by way of increased speed, accuracy, resolution, imaging volume, ease of automation, as well as reduced calibration requirements and reduced soil disturbance would...

Improving soil water determination in spatially variable field using fiber optic technology and Bayesian decision theory

Creator:

Sayde, Chadi

Abstract:

Achieving and maintaining sustainability in irrigated agriculture production in the era of rapidly increasing stress on our natural resources require, among other essential actions, optimum control and management of the applied water. Thus, a significant upgrade of the currently available soil water monitoring technologies is needed. The primary goal of...
