From ITAP we have received these photos about an interesting project they are working on, related to ground covers in vineyards. Their aim is to compare soil moisture in the crop line and in the covered part, assessing its impact on water management and vineyard sustainability.
To do this, they have installed GERBIL moisture probes, specifically the reference 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗹 𝟰.𝟬𝟰 𝗦𝗗𝗜𝟭𝟮 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿, equipped with 4 sensors spaced every 10 cm, with the deepest sensor at 40 cm. This configuration allows them to obtain accurate data at different soil levels and to better understand how moisture varies according to vegetation cover.
Why GERBIL?
✅ Versatility: Makes it easy to measure at different depths with simple installation.
✅ High accuracy: Provides reliable data to optimise irrigation management.
✅ Real-time monitoring: Ideal for evaluating water conservation strategies in woody crops such as vines.
‘We consider it to be a very versatile and well-performing piece of equipment.’
Thanks to ITAP for sharing their experience! We will remain attentive to the progress of this interesting project.
