2025 Abstract - TAKING THE COMPLEXITY OUT OF SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR INTERPRETATION, THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT:: interpreting soil moisture sensors is difficult. Irrigators must not just understand dry and wet, but balance sensor readings with rainfall chances, different soil types, different crop growth states and crop types water demands, and irrigation availability. The process to make an irrigation decision can be a complex one and difficult one. Learn how to take soil sensor readings from Watermark sensors and make a clear and easy to execute irrigation plan in 30 seconds or less on your phone or table. Meet a grower that is using it extensively to improve his water use efficiency.
