Characterization of a New Heat Dissipation Matric Potential Sensor [PDF]
Sensors, 2013 Soil moisture sensors can help to reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation. In this paper we describe the PlantCare soil moisture sensor as a new type of heat dissipation sensor, its calibration and the correction for temperature changes.

Effect of the Soil Matric Potential on the Germination Capacity of Prosopis chilensis, Quillaja saponaria and Cryptocarya alba from Contrasting Geographical Origins [PDF]
Plants, 2022 As a consequence of the megadrought in Central Chile, it is expected that most of the distribution of woody species will be narrowed in the northern limits because of restrictions imposed by soil matric potential on seed germination.

Hydrodynamic Characterisation of the Inland Valley Soils of the Niger Delta Area for Sustainable Agricultural Water Management [PDF]
SensorsSince farmers in the inland valley region of the Niger Delta mostly rely on experience rather than empirical evidence when it comes to irrigation, flood irrigation being the most popular technique, the region’s agricultural sector needs more efficient ...
