A simple model to predict soil penetrometer resistance as a function of density, drying and depth in the field
in Soil and Tillage Research
| Description | We have written a joint paper with Prof Ren's group which provides a soil-physical explanation of why different soil tillage systems give different yields. |
| Exploitation Route | A Royal Society grant (2013-2015) |
| Sectors | Agriculture, Food and Drink |
| Description | This project allowed us to win a Royal Society Exchange Grant with the Prof. Ren at CAU Beijing which started in 2014 and ends in March 2016. We have recently applied for a China partnering award based on the contacts developed in this project. We were successful in our application for a China partnering award to allow us to integrate soil sensor development at CAU, Rothamsted, JIC and Lancaster University. The outcome of this will be reported separately. |
