Description

As the agency reported it.

Cost is the most significant barrier to adoption of sophisticated data-driven irrigation management in permanent agriculture. Highly-resolved vertical soil water profiles are needed to learn soil-specific hydraulic response and to accurately infer crop water uptake and deep drainage fluxes from monitored changes in the storage profile. Basing irrigation decisions on the time-varying soil hydraulic behavior learned in situ will enable the improvement of water and energy conservation, resource protection, and adaptability to climate change. The massive proliferation of wireless accessories has driven the cost of integrated circuit (IC) based programmable RF transceivers unprecedentedly low and usability unprecedentedly high. We propose to repurpose low-cost RF chips as soil water sensing devices AR
