Researcher Running A Hand Across Wheat
Lab-produced soil water retention curves can be paired with information from in situ moisture release curves for deeper insight into real-world variability.
Hydrology 101: The Science Behind the SATURO Infiltrometer
A Forest With Fallen Trees
Dr. Gaylon S. Campbell teaches the basics of hydraulic conductivity and the science behind the SATURO automated dual head infiltrometer.
Publish More. Work Less. Introducing ZENTRA Cloud
Researcher is Collecting Data from the ZL6 Data Logger
METER research scientist Dr. Colin Campbell discusses how ZENTRA Cloud data management software simplifies the research process and why researchers can’t afford to live without it.
Soil Moisture 101: Need-to-Know Basics
Soil moisture is more than just knowing the amount of water in soil. Learn basic principles you need to know before deciding how to measure it.
Soil Moisture 201: Moisture Release Curves—Revealed
Rolling Hills of Farm Land
A soil moisture release curve is a powerful tool used to predict plant water uptake, deep drainage, runoff, and more.
Soil Moisture 301: Hydraulic Conductivity—Why You Need It. How to Measure it.
Researcher measuring with the HYPROP balance
If you want to predict how water will move within your soil system, you need to understand hydraulic conductivity because it governs water flow.
Soil Moisture 102: Water Content Methods—Demystified
Modern Sensing is more than just a Sensor
Dr. Colin Campbell compares measurement theory, the pros and cons of each method, and why modern sensing is about more than just the sensor.
Soil Moisture 202: Choosing the Right Water Potential Sensor
Electrical Conductivity
METER research scientist Leo Rivera discusses how to choose the right field water potential sensor for your application.
Water Management: Plant-Water Relations and Atmospheric Demand
Dr. Gaylon Campbell shares his newest insights and explores options for water management beyond soil moisture. Learn the why and how of scheduling irrigation using plant or atmospheric measurements. Understand canopy temperature and its role in detecting water stress in crops. Plus, discover when plant water information is necessary and which measurement(s) to use.
How to Improve Irrigation Scheduling Using Soil Moisture
Capacitance
Dr. Gaylon Campbell covers the different methods irrigators can use to schedule irrigation and the pros and cons of each.
