Jujube
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 and initial agricultural use. Initial testing of 7mm sensors looks good, trend is reasonable.
Known Issues
- Comments from trial (Manpreet Singh)
- P1 produced nearly double the expected readings early in the season, then performed normally after re-installation.
- P2 readings gradually moved toward zero in mid-season but returned to normal after re-installation.
- Overall, the sensors appear to perform well and track reasonably closely with the pump-up chamber values. However, it does seem to require periodic pressure-bomb checks during the season to confirm the sensors are reading correctly.
