The meteorological sensor and soil probe was installed to assess the integration of the herd-home shelter into an existing dairy farm management system. The meteorological data collected will also be used in assessing the nutrient reduction effectiveness of the constructed Okaro wetland. Data is made available to assist farmers with their farm management, especially effluent irrigation.Soil Moisture Information:The soil moisture data shows the percentage of moisture in the top 250mm of soil. Soil moistures are separated into three zones: Red, Orange and Green, with the Field Capacity line at the top of the Red Zone showing the maximum amount of water that the soil can hold. Guidance for effluent irrigation management is set out below with reference to these three zones.Field Capacity: The maximum amount of water the soil can hold is expressed as a percentage of soil volume, for this soil the field capacity is 51%.Guidance for effluent management - with a travelling irrigator►Red Zone (above 41% soil moisture)Effluent irrigation with a travelling irrigator should not occur when readings are within the Red Zone as soil moisture is considered to be too close to Field Capacity. There is a high risk that the effluent would make its way into waterways either by overland flow or via drainage.►Orange Zone (between 31% - 41% soil moisture)Effluent irrigation with a travelling irrigator may commence with caution when readings are within the Orange Zone. Irrigation needs to be carried out with care. A travelling irrigator needs to be set at maximum travelling speed as there is still a medium to high risk for effluent to enter waterways either by overland flow or via drainage. ►Green Zone (below 31% soil moisture)Effluent irrigation with a travelling irrigator can operate within the Green Zone with a much reduced risk of effluent entering waterways either by overland flow or via drainage through mole/tile drains, provided best management practices for irrigating are followed and the irrigator remains set at maximum travelling speed. Be cautious with effluent application when the soil is extremely dry as effluent may move straight to drains via soil cracks.","Grid Reference:":"U16: 061 171","Elevation (m):":"450"},"summary":{"Soil Moisture":"30.4 %","Soil Temperature":" 14.93 deg.
