TreeSense Pulse technology provides an advanced method of monitoring the water balance of trees by measuring resistance, temperature, battery status and optionally solar energy. Correct interpretation of this data is critical to understanding tree health and effective water management. Data and decoder TreeSense Pulse transmits data packets via LoRaWAN or NB-IoT, which are processed by a [...]

A detailed description of the structure and function of watermark sensors can be found, for example, in the following scientific article, which also serves as the source for this article: "Irrometer Watermark Series: Scientific Background" from Mississippi State University. At the heart of a watermark sensor is a measurement of the electrical conductivity between two electrodes. If there is non-conductive material between these two electrodes [...]

In the following, the basic requirements for the successful implementation and [...]

The patented Watermark sensor for determining soil water tension in kPa has been in use worldwide since 1978. But what exactly is soil water tension? Soil water tension refers to the force with which water is retained in the soil. It is measured in units such as centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa). This tension is caused by the attractive forces between the [...]
