Design features determining the sensitivity of wetting front detectors for managing irrigation water in the root zone
Current irrigation scheduling technologies are limited to refilling the root zone based on measured or predicted amount of water stored within the root zone. This needs measurement of soil-water status and specifying soil field capacity that make this approach expensive and challenging. The FullStop...
