Project description
This doctoral research project aims at developing and testing a methodology for the site specific management of soil properties allowing paddy rice growing farmers of alluvial areas in Asia to improve their water use efficiency. Therefore the non-invasive electromagnetic induction sensor EM38 will be evaluated to map soil compaction and related soil properties in detail.
