Soil moisture content has paramount importance in dictating engineering, agronomic,
geological, ecological, biological and hydrological characteristics of the soil mass. Though …

Substantial advances in the measurement of water content and bulk soil electrical
conductivity (EC) using time domain reflectometry (TDR) have been made in the last two …

The field-scale application of apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) to agriculture has its
origin in the measurement of soil salinity, which is an arid-zone problem associated with …

Soil salinization is a global problem that severely restricts agriculture as well as the
engineering and construction industry. Understanding water and salt transport laws is key to …

Plant diseases cause losses to agricultural production and hence, the economy. This
necessitates a need to develop prediction models for the plant disease detection and …

Non-destructive measurement of soil water content and electrical conductivity has been
desired for many years. Recent development of time domain reflectometry (TDR) enables us …

Two parallel metallic rods were used as a wave guide to measure the dielectric constant and
electrical conductivity of soils having different electrical conductivities but the same water …

Mapping and monitoring soil spatial variability is particularly problematic for temporally and
spatially dynamic properties such as soil salinity. The tools necessary to address this classic …

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is the most widely used non-destructive method to
determine the water content of soils and other porous media. TDR equipment can be …

A multiplexing time domain reflectoinetry (TDR) system for real‐time monitoring of volumetric
soil moisture content was developed. The system was tested at a remote field site in the …
