Session: Symposium--Soil Moisture Sensing for Crop Health Assessment and Management (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings (2016))

41 Symposium--Soil Moisture Sensing for Crop Health Assessment and Management

Oral Session

ASA Section: Climatology and Modeling

Soil moisture sensing through either contact or remote technology captures soil-plant-water information that relates closely with plant water availability and use. This session addresses measures of soil moisture and their relationship with plant health status, crop growth and development (e.g., canopy cover/structure), crop productivity, soils management and response to agronomic inputs. Innovations in remote sensing technologies that can inform plant health assessment, growth simulation models and crop management, including the timeliness (i.e., output delivery time) of data from a satellite, airborne or UAV platform will be featured. Participants will gain insights into opportunities for improving crop productivity in relation to soil moisture status.
