Resumen:
Continuous monitoring of volumetric soil water content (VSWC) has considerable potential for irrigation management (IM). Dynamic protocols were developed for IM of drip-irrigated vegetable crops grown in soil, in greenhouses using the EnviroSCAN system (ES). Melon, tomato and pepper were grown sequentially. The manufacturer’s recommended protocols ("Sentek protocols") were applied to melon, using a single ES probe located close to the plant and dripper (position 1), with four sensors at different depths. The upper limit was defined by vertical drainage at depth, and the lower limit by ...
