Abstract
Water is undoubtedly the most significant variable driving yields. It drives yield potential, nutrient uptake, nutrient losses, and over the long-term is a dominant factor organic matter accumulation, soil pH, and erosion. The industry has made progress in utilizing soil moisture probes to monitor yield potential through the season, but there remains an opportunity to better understand spatial water variability across a landscape for the purpose of precision management. Precision soil moisture maps based on soil properties, topography, and water flow across a landscape can provide a valuable tool to better manage agronomic decisions to manage risk, mitigate environmental loss of nutrients, and provide a better return on investment with crop inputs.
