PotatoLink Podcast Episode 9: Moisture monitoring at the Springbank demonstration site

Moisture probes act as a kind of yardstick, helping farmers align their field observations with real moisture data. They can also help optimise irrigation practices. 

Using moisture data, farmers can time irrigation to match the actual water needs of their crops. This precise approach has the potential to boost crop yields significantly – essentially aligning human judgment with data driven precision to get the best results from the field.

PotatoLink conducted a demonstration at the Victorian demonstration site in Springbank back in 2022. A write up of the site was produced for the 11th issue of the PotatoLink magazine, it contains valuable graphs and diagrams that go along with this podcast.
