Researchers at Michigan State University are developing cost-effective technology to help farmers better manage irrigation needs. The Low-Cost Monitoring System (LOCOMOS) uses in-field sensors that measure soil moisture, leaf wetness, and other factors which are then analyzed to create precise irrigation recommendations. Researchers say the simpler system could prevent over-irrigation, reduce disease development, and lower […]
