Optimizing Bermudagrass Management Strategies Using Aerial Imagery and Wireless Capacitive Soil Sensors
… unmanned aerial vehicles and wireless capacitive soil sensors can aide in expediting data collection for actionable decision making related to irrigation practices and winterkill stress mitigation. The first study assessed the impact of morning leaf wetness from dew and subsequent removal on …

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICE MONITORING USING LONG-TERM TIME LAPSE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY AND SOIL SENSORS: IMPLICATIONS FOR DESIGN, MAINTENANCE, AND SOIL MOISTURE MONITORING
… as survey results are sensitive to changes in soil moisture and fluid conductivity, which are essential parameters when tracking infiltration and road salt influx at these SMPs. Additionally, the ERT data can be converted to soil moisture values using Archie’s law, which is important for …

Development of a Machine Learning Algorithm for the Estimation of Soil Organic Matter from the Integration of UAV and In-Ground Soil Sensor
Biotic wastes and living soil organisms comprise an organic substance of soil known as soil organic matter (SOM). Many agricultural soils are severely depleted in this essential nutrient because of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides over the years. Soil fertility and production can only be better …

Evaluation of Mob Grazing and its Impacts on Soil Moisture and Temperature and Litter Decomposition in South Dakota
… through increased trampling, which “feeds the soil bugs”. In order to quantify the effects this trampled vegetation has on ecosystem processes, we observed litter decomposition, soil moisture, and soil temperature in mob grazed areas compared to the extremes of the spectrum: Ungrazed and Bare …

SOFT WORM ROBOT: LOCOMOTION CHARACTERISTICS AND SENSING FOR AGRICULTURAL ROBOTICS
… it becomes necessary to install multiple sensors (such as temperature, humidity, and vision sensors) under the soil across vast farmland areas. However, the significant costs associated with acquiring and deploying such sensors on large farms have led to the search for alternative …
