Parameters of geoBHUMI.

  v Most essential parameters in less than a second at fingertip.                                      The farmers can access their field’s most important data like soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature and air humidity from anywhere from any corner of the world with the help of a mobile phone in just a single click and no need to go to field also.   ΓΌ RT- Moisture content:- Root zone moisture content                                                          Soil moisture is the water which is held in the spaces between soil particles , a good level of soil moisture helps in evapotranspiration , but if the plants soil has too much water the roots can rot and decreases a plants ability to take up water through its roots. In saturated soil plants can’t get enough oxygen from the soil , oxygen deficiency appears to most important environmental factor causing stress, reduced growth, injury and death to trees in saturated soils.                              And i

Saturation and wilting point of soil

    v Saturation of soil :-                                          A condition in which all easily drained voids ( pores) between soil particles are temporarily or permanently filled with water . If soil remain saturated for too long , most plants will decline or die . A saturated soil decreases a plant’s a bility to take up water through its roots. A waterlogged soil decreases water taken up by plan ts. ·       Effect of soil saturation on trees and plants :-                              Adequate soil drainage or lack of adequate drainage ( also called soil saturation ) is influenced by soil texture ( percent of soil, slit and clay ) and soil structure. Growth and maintenance of root systems require large quantities of oxygen content and if it drops below 10% , root growth of most plants will be limited . In urban situations, construction activities may have altered the native soil therefore available pore space is greatly reduce in  compacted soil.
