Cotton
ExperimentalThe sensor gives usable readings here, but the dataset is thin and there are no published thresholds. Sold for research and supervised field trials only — not for commercial irrigation scheduling. Growers: stick to the Validated list.
Performance
Recommended for experimental use and initial commercial field trials. Sensor measurements fit the pressure bomb very well, but some variability seen across years.
Installation Tips
- Recommend using the smaller 3mm sensor due to small trunk size of cotton.
