Abstract

Soil moisture -- Measurement

Pears -- Irrigation

Irrigation sensors are important tools for fine-tuning irrigation. Kicking the dirt or doing a "the-grass-looks-green irrigation check" is not always enough. Old pear orchards have deep roots, and what is happening in the top two inches of soil can be quite different from what is happening two feet underground. Irrigation sensors help you make more informed irrigation decisions based on soil moisture conditions in the root zone.
