Nitrogen Impacts on Irrigation Management

Nitrogen Impacts on Irrigation Management

One of the goals with nitrogen in crop production is to make sure as much as possible is available to the plant. As a key component of amino acids, which form the building blocks of proteins and enzymes, Nitrogen is present in the roots where the proteins and enzymes help regulate water and nutrient uptake. How are nitrogen stress and water stress related?

Moisture Monitoring with the Watermark Stacked Probe

Trellis does not manufacture sensors, but has designed a modular soil moisture sensor system that can use multiple types of sensors and probe depths that are tailored to what producers need given the root depth of different crops and soil textures. This blog post will focus on the Watermark sensor, and how Trellis makes it easy to install, remove, and make sense of the data.

Why aren't my sensors responding?

Farmers and consultants call, text, and email us every day to assist them in viewing their sensors. It is important that The Fields page in the Trellis Dashboard allows users to see an overview of each field, and whether the weighted average of the sensors in the field are wet, ok, or dry, based on the soil texture, crop type, and recorded readings. But the devil is in the details, right? How do you make sense of the soil moisture charts and use them to make decisions?

This time of year, growers often ask, “When should I stop irrigating?” It is an important question because terminating irrigation too early could lead to lower crop yields, while over-irrigating is a waste of water and money.

So how should you determine when it is time to stop irrigating? Keep reading to find out!
