Soil Moisture Map with CRNS probe
Description
By setting the Finapp probe in motion on farmland, it is possible to obtain a detailed map of soil moisture and not just an average value representative of the interior field, as with the fixed installation. The maximum resolution can be pushed to “pixels” of twenty meters by twenty meters on a side. It is possible to install the probe on a tractor or any other agricultural vehicle that normally enters the field or on pivots or rangers for irrigation. The fundamental advantage of this application is to know in detail the soil moisture, so as to really take advantage of the new variable-rate irrigation systems, which make it possible to differentiate irrigation water volumes by controlling the forward or rotational speed of rangers and pivots. Knowledge of soil moisture is thus pushed to the maximum, optimizing automated irrigation even more.
