“…This technique has low implementation costs and offers the possibility of remote control and continuous monitoring. Additional features such as real-time response and adaptability make TDR particularly attractive for countless applications (e.g., localization of wire faults [6][7][8], liquid level monitoring [9], dielectric characterization of materials [10][11][12], monitoring building structures [13], quality control on vegetable oils [14], landslide and ground movement monitoring [15,16], leak detection in underground pipes [17], etc. )…”

In this work, a time domain reflectometry (TDR)-based system for continuous and diffused monitoring of soil water content in agriculture is presented. The proposed TDR-based system employs elongate sensing elements (SEs). In practical application, each wire-like SE is buried along the cultivation row to be monitored, and through a single TDR measurement it is possible to retrieve the water content profile of the cultivation along the length of the SE. By connecting the TDR-based monitoring system to the irrigation machines, it would be possible to automatically start/stop irrigation based on the actual water requirement of the cultivations, thus favoring precision agriculture and enhancing irrigation efficiency. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed monitoring solution, a dedicated hardware+software platform was developed and the TDR-based system was experimented in open-field cultivations.
