Abstract
Monitoring soil moisture is fundamental to determining how much irrigation water should be applied and when the soil is able to store the amount of water to be applied. Establishing when and how much water should be applied is often referred to as irrigation scheduling.
This extension circular discusses soil moisture terms; what is a tensiometer, its installation and use; and worksheet.
