Soil Moisture Monitoring Project
The Soil Moisture Monitoring project is funded and supported by DPI and NVIRP to demonstrate a range of water technologies at the on-farm level. Echuca DPI project staff Brian Holmes (DPI rep on Cluster) and Dale Boyd are delivering this project.
It is supported by the Cluster in a technical support capacity and provides the DPI project team with a unique forum to discuss the project, and a unique network of technology providers to impart up to date and relevant information relating to the technology being demonstrated.
DPI Information Note available: an information note called:
''Choosing the right soil moisture monitoring device'' has been compiled by Brian Holmes and Dale Boyd in conjunction with David Williams of NSW DPI. it is available in PDF version on this web-site for your convenience.
