| Abstract/Contents: | "Studies have demonstrated increased water conservation potential of irrigation scheduling based on soil moisture sensors (SMS) compared to scheduling based on Evapotranspiration (ET). Nonetheless, the use of either in-ground or hand-held sensors has not been widely adopted. Complicating factors such as interference with standard agronomic practices and the time-consuming nature of surface measurements have limited the acceptance of SMS for irrigation scheduling. A study has been conducted at New Mexico State University to investigate the accuracy of two types of remote soil moisture sensing and compared to a ground penetrating Time Domain Reflectometry sensor (TDR 350). Remote sensing included an earth orbiting active microwave Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor system operating at a wavelength of 4 to 8 cm (C-band) and a portable radiometer (PoLRa) mounted on a fairway reel-mower (TurfRad) using a wavelength of 21 cm (L-Band). Soil moisture readings were collected monthly and data were compared. Generally, both satellite and TurfRad underestimate soil moisture when compared to the TDR 350. A significant but weak correlation on all sampling dates between moisture values could only be determined for the TurfRad sensor and TDR 350. Remote sensing technologies such as satellite or TurfRad show promise in tracking soil moisture, however, their accuracy needs improvement. More studies are needed to investigate if models to estimate soil moisture from reflectance values specifically on turf areas can be improved." |
