(Nanowerk News) Increasingly limited land and water resources has inspired the development of precision agriculture: use of remote sensing technology to monitor air and soil environmental data in real ...

A frequent beginner project involves measuring soil moisture levels by measuring its resistance with a couple of electrodes. These electrodes are available ready-made as PCBs, but suffer badly from ...

Farmers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are reducing water use and improving crop productivity through the use of modern soil moisture ...

Now in its sixth year, the Cornell project team CU GeoData bridges engineering and earth sciences to design and deploy environmental sensors, including a sensor network across the Finger Lakes and a ...

Most engineers don’t suit up with gardening gloves, but Navid Shaghaghi M.S. ’14 isn’t most engineers. When he’s not in the classroom, the engineering lecturer likes getting his hands dirty. Donning a ...

Real-time data from soil sensors helps K-P farmers end irrigation guesswork, saving water by 30%, cutting fuel costs ...

The success of precision agriculture relies heavily on the use of pumped groundwater to irrigate crops. However, recent years have seen trends of depletion in many groundwater sources where ...

I bought a 3-way soil meter from a Chinese online store. The first thing that caught my attention in the soil meter was that there was no battery compartment to store a battery pack. This three-way ...
