The Penn State Extension will host a March 4 webinar on Monitoring Soil Moisture: A Climate Smart Ag Practice from Noon to 1:00 p.m.

Soil moisture is an important factor in agriculture, influencing crop growth and yield. Traditionally, farmers have relied on manual methods and experience to assess soil moisture levels.

With technological advancements, however, novel methods are emerging, providing more accurate and efficient ways to manage water resources and optimize yields.

Monitoring Soil Moisture: A Climate Smart Practice will look at some advancements in soil moisture monitoring and how making good management decisions can be a climate-smart practice.
