Abstrakt: A study was conducted at three locations in Arkansas to compare the difference in water use and corn yield when using soil moisture sensors to initiate irrigation compared to a conventional calendar-based irrigation schedule. No significant differences in corn grain yields were observed among the sites, but a 0%, 25%, and 45% reduction in irrigation water use was observed from the sensor treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
