Sensor-based precision nutrient and irrigation management enhances the physiological performance, water productivity, and yield of soybean under system of crop intensification.

ABSTRACT: Sensor-based decision tools provide a quick assessment of nutritional and physiological health status of crop, thereby enhancing the crop productivity. Therefore, a 2-year field study was undertaken with precision nutrient and irrigation management under system of crop intensification (SCI) to understand the applicability of sensor-based decision tools in improving the physiological performance, water productivity, and seed yield of soybean crop. The experiment consisted of three irrigation regimes [I₁: standard flood irrigation at 50% depletion of available soil moisture (DASM) (FI), I₂: sprinkler irrigation at 80% ET_C (crop evapo-transpiration) (Spr 80% ET_C), and I₃: sprinkler irrigation at 60% ET_C (Spr 60% ET_C)
