| Abstract/Contents: | "Expeditious advancements in sensor technology to measure or estimate moisture in soil have taken place with time. There are numerous technologies to measure or estimate moisture in soil today. Sensors based on different technologies interact differently with the amount of moisture present in soil. The objective of this research was to study response of these sensors within normal (up to 50% of available moisture depletion) drying cycle of soil so as to effectively use them for landscape irrigation control. For this study, volumetric water content sensors based on Time Domain Transmission (WaterTec S100) and Soil Water Potential sensors based on electrical resistance (Watermark 200SS) were used at 0 dS/m (at 25 oC) in Sandy Loam textured soil. Three sensors of each type were used in containers packed with Sandy Loam soil in a temperature controlled environment. Each container was placed on a weighing scale to continuously monitor drying cycles over time. Total of four drying cycles were used, each cycle split into five levels of depletion (10% each) and at least one reading in each level from sensors was taken. Test results showed that these sensors' response to normal drying cycles were considerably repeatable, precise and less-variant." |
