Development of a densitometer for analysis of agricultural soils in a field environment
Development of a densitometer for analysis of agricultural soils in a field environment
This project proposed to develop a field densitometer based on the use of Compton scattering and visualization algorithms as innovative methods to non-invasively and non-destructively measure density and compaction in agricultural soils in the environment under analysis. For the methodological evaluation, the results were compared with classical soil analysis techniques .
