Precision planter monitoring system based on mobile communication network
IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Sowing is an important link in agricultural production and the basis for ensuring high yields and bumper harvests. Agriculture requires precision plows with good performance and stable work. However, the seeding process is in a completely closed state, and the operator relies mainly on experience to judge the operating state and performance of

Field instrumentation for real-time measurement of soil-water characteristic curve
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2022 Suction measurement has a vital role in unsaturated soil analysis. However, measuring soil suction remains a challenging task due to a number of issues such as the limited range of suction measurement, cavitation, or long equilibrium time.

Soil desiccation cracks as a suction–contraction process [PDF]
Géotechnique Letters, 2017 Recent macro- and particle-scale advances in unsaturated soil behaviour have led to an enhanced understanding of the effects of moisture changes on soil response. This research examines desiccation cracks as a suction–contraction-coupled process using sand–clay mixtures.

Preliminary study on the contribution of osmotic effects for the electrical resistivity of sands [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Electrical resistivity of soils can be used to evaluate the level of contamination in soils in geophysical prospection tests. The chemical composition of pore fluid also corresponds to a given water potential, named as osmotic suction.

A ssessment of Various Methods to Measure the Soil Suction
International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2020 The foundation of the lightweight structures is commonly in unsaturated state conditions because located above the ground-water table. The matric suction governs the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. Soil suction estimation is challenging both in the field and lab.
