Usability of sensors in scheduling irrigation of vegetables

摘要

Different tensiometers (normally, mini and big), TDR problems Watermark, WFF-A sensor, infrared sensor, a combination sensor by IMAG Wageningen (measures soil moisture, temperature, EC) and the Flori sensor were compared for measuring the soil and substrate moisture under controlled conditions. in the greenhouse and outdoors. For the application under practical cultivation conditions, especially for the regulation of drip irrigation, the tensiometer is particularly recommended, and with small restrictions, the Flori sensor by NETAFIM. The investigations are being continued.
