Uittreksel

Plastic mulching (PM) has become an important agricultural practice to improve crop yields worldwide, while there is still a lack of methods to quantify the complex spatial variations of soil water content (SWC) in the PM field. In this study, a methodology for using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to get SWC information in the PM field was presented. Its performance in monitoring SWC was validated, and the spatial variation of SWC was analyzed using the ERT results. A simplified Waxman and Smits model was selected to calibrate the pedo-physical relationship, and it showed good performance (coefficient of determination > 0.92). With the calibrated model, the SWC obtained using ERT showed good agreement with soil moisture sensors in different soil layers (RMSE
