Do you know if your Field capacity and irrigation thresholds are effective for scheduling irrigation and wonder how to optimize them? Check out this publication in which we developed a novel and simple methodology based on evapotranspiration and drainage flux.

We're excited to start Soybean Irrigation study. Installing soil moisture sensors in the soybean field at UMD-WYEREC. These sensors will help us monitor soil water tension, allowing us to schedule irrigation more efficiently. #PrecisionIrrigation #ClimateWaterSmartIrrigation

This summer has been so dry that it's visibly affecting the crops. Without irrigation, crops are facing micro-drought conditions. A glance of non-irrigated corn to irrigated corn in Central Maryland to see the difference. @UMdExtension @UMD_AGNR

The robotic applications in agriculture offer a range of benefits including increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and precise management of chemicals. Look at the experiment by @AgTechLuan ensuring their performance before widespread adoption among farmers.
The use of Robots in Agriculture is exponentially growing worldwide. We are testing some of these technologies simulating different outputs, crop spacing, and crop height. With the results we will be able to provide some guidance on the best settings to use for each crop.

@UMDPrecisionAg Thanks Hemendra! I enjoyed yours as well. It was good to get a refresher on those key components to irrigation: field capacity, available water, saturation, etc and how it varies by soil type.

It was great meeting @LukeRangeWalker and intelligent discussion on drone technology applications for agriculture, wildlife, and natural resource in Maryland. We had some flight time and collected some data. Amazing scientist to work with. @UMdExtension
If you want to grow, you should make time to speak with knowledgeable people. Met with Hemendra Kumar @UMdExtension today to discuss drone applications for wildlife and agriculture. Not only can LiDAR see through objects, it can detect soil moisture 15 cm deep.
