ISHS Acta Horticulturae 562: III International Symposium on Sensors in Horticulture

APPLICATION OF DIELECTRIC SOIL MOISTURE SENSORS FOR REAL-TIME AUTOMATED IRRIGATION CONTROL

Authors:   M.C. Kuyper, J. Balendonck
Keywords:   leaching, flushing, temperature dependence, calibration methods
Abstract:
In this article the irrigation control system to be developed in the running Waterman project is outlined. Also, the following process monitoring considerations are discussed: what soil moisture state to measure, calibration for soil water content, and the temperature dependence of soil dielectric constant and bulk electrical conductivity (EC).
