Gov. Tina Kotek declared drought emergencies in Lincoln and Baker counties as much of Oregon faces drought conditions that are helping fuel wildfires.

As the peak of crop water use approaches, farmers across our region once again face one of the most critical decisions in crop production: When and how much to irrigate.

LANZHOU -- Chinese researchers have proposed a new method for high-precision soil moisture estimation using the technique of ...

How different plants manage water stress may reshape climate models. Scientists now say soil drying isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District will host a free agricultural irrigation workshop with Texas A&M AgriLife and Texas Water Resources Institute on Tuesday, July 15, from 10:00 a.m.

Any home gardener knows they have to tailor their watering regime for different plants. Forgetting to water their flowerbed ...

So you just bought a tropical houseplant. Before you go full steam ahead, it's important to acclimate it to the new ...

Researchers at Purdue University are creating soil sensors that will gather that data to train AI. “Right now, a soil moisture sensor, you’d have about 1 of those per 100 acres.

Leaf sensors can measure moisture and temperature levels, and soil sensors can detect essential nutrients like nitrate, offering a unique way to monitor crop health and spot issues in the field.

The best soil meter can accurately read moisture levels, measure soil pH, and help you monitor plant health to keep your plants alive longer.

The sensor is based on an STM32 microcontroller, in this case one specifically optimized for low-power applications. The other low-power key to this build is the small seven-segment e-ink display.

A project from the University of Maine monitors soil moisture using AI that over time learns to make a sensor network as efficient as possible, creating a low-energy way to track climate change ...
