| Abstract/Contents: | "Soil moisture sensors can be your irrigation system's endoscope to monitor soil/water relationships beneath the surface. They represent yet another tool that helps transform irrigation scheduling from an art to a science. This technology isn't a substitute for good irrigation control systems, but an accessory that makes them 'smarter.'" Discusses the advantages of moisture sensors in irrigation scheduling, irrigation system design and the placement of sensors to represent specific root zones and watering needs, and some key areas of inquiry when make purchase decision. |
