Now Vargas and doctoral student Mario Guevara have developed a new approach that sharpens our ability to predict soil moisture, even in large areas where no data have been available. Compared to ...

Soil moisture sensors can help farmers save water, by letting them know when their crops actually need to be watered. An experimental new sensor could be particularly helpful, as it incorporates a ...

Soil moisture profile measurements are an integral component of water balance estimation networks, especially in thick vadose zones and fine-grained soil environments. At field sites with silty and ...

“Training to use the cosmic ray neutron sensor has opened a new window for us to manage soil water content.” The cosmic ray neutron sensor is a device that can measure moisture levels ... use the ...

This video explains how the galactic cosmic ray can be utilized for monitoring landscape soil moisture to improve agricultural water-management. The scale of measurement of the cosmic ray neutron ...
