Abstract/Contents:"Soil moisture sensors are an important component of some sensor based irrigation system controllers. The sensor provides information critical to the effective and efficient management of turf and landscape irrigation systems. At the Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT) a testing protocol standard is being established to verify the accuracy of commercially available soil moisture sensors. This protocol will characterize the ability of the sensor to provide reliable results when comparing individual units during multiple wetting cycles for various soil types, soil temperatures, and water salinity levels. In 2003, while initial tests were conducted on a commercially available sensor at CIT, a draft copy of the protocol was posted on the Irrigation Association (IA) website for comments. We propose to present results from the tests to date, such as calibration curve plots of the sensor reading versus the measured mass and volumetric moisture content. In addition we will summarize the comments and suggestions received via the internet to the draft protocol that was posted on the IA website."
