One method of measuring the water requirement of crops is via soil moisture sensors. These expensive and fragile sensors help determine the right time to irrigate and administer the right amount of water, but there are also alternatives. Such as Irrigation Signal from BioScope.
We have listed the advantages for you.
1. Easy to use
No complex installation or operation of equipment is required for BeregingsSignaal. The award-winning FieldScout application provides clear and simple information about the soil moisture status.
