Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for monitoring and control of soil conditions. In one example, among others, a method includes obtaining one or more aqueous sample from at least one suction probe within a soil substrate and analyzing the one or more aqueous sample to determine a chemical composition of the soil substrate. Amounts of an additive may be determined to adjust the chemical composition of the soil substrate. In another example, a method includes installing at least one suction probe within a soil substrate; drawing a vacuum to induce hydraulic conduction of at least one aqueous solution from the soil substrate; extracting one or more aqueous sample; and analyzing the one or more aqueous sample to determine a chemical composition.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining one or more aqueous sample extracted from at least one suction probe installed at one or more depth within a soil substrate;
- analyzing the one or more aqueous sample to determine a chemical composition of the one or more aqueous sample obtained at the one or more depth of the soil substrate, the chemical composition comprising concentrations of non-nutrient substances at the one or more depths of the soil substrate;
- and
- determining a corrective measure based at least in part upon the chemical composition of the one or more aqueous sample.
A method, comprising:
- analyzing one or more aqueous sample collected in at least one suction probe installed within a soil substrate to determine a chemical composition of the one or more aqueous sample, the chemical composition comprising concentrations of non-nutrient substances of the soil substrate;
- and
- determining a corrective measure based at least in part upon the chemical composition of the one or more aqueous sample.
