| Experiment Title | STANDARDIZATION OF SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR FOR DRIP IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT IN BANANA (B. H. 2027, AICRP on WM) | ||
| Research Type | AICRP Trials | ||
| Experiment Background | In Gujarat, banana crop is cultivated in 11 districts covering an area of about 60900 ha. Gujarat is ranking 3rd among the states of India with an average productivity of 58.7t/ha. Majority of banana growers have adopted drip irrigation system in Gujarat. The frequency domain soil moisture sensors work well in moist range of soils and give indirectly measure VWC based on the 1.40 MHz wave penetration properties of the soil medium. These sensors are in the form of two parallel electrodes and the spacing between two electrodes can be change according to the working range. This property of sensor is most suitable for triggering on / off signals to the drip irrigation system and can be used for scheduling the drip irrigation. | ||
