Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and implements for sensing, analyzing, and displaying different soil parameters. A soil sensing system includes a mechanical component of an agricultural implement and at least one sensor disposed on the mechanical component. The sensor generates an electromagnetic field through a region of soil as the agricultural implement traverses a field. The sensor comprises at least one radar transmitter and at least one radar receiver and the sensor measures different soil parameters including a soil dielectric constant.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An implement comprising: a first radar transceiver or a combination of a first radar transmitter and first radar receiver for sensing soil properties at a first depth of soil; and a second radar transceiver or a combination of a second radar transmitter and second radar receiver for sensing soil properties at a second depth of soil. 2 . The implement of claim 1 , wherein the implement comprises one of a tractor, a planter, a seeder, a tillage tool, a combine, a sprayer, and an agricultural toolbar. 3 . The implement of claim 1 , wherein the implement comprises a planter. 4 . The implement of claim 1 further comprising: a monitor in communication with the first radar transceiver or a combination of the first radar transmitter and first radar receiver and the second radar transceiver or a combination of the second radar transmitter and second radar receiver and adapted to generate a numeric display or a spatial mapping of the soil at the first depth and the second depth. 5 . The implement of claim 1 , further comprising: an electrical conductivity sensor to sense electrical conductivity of soil with the electrical conductivity corresponding to a soil dielectric constant.
