Experiments of hydroponically growing Admiral pea shoots
 |
| Admiral peas bred by Agronomy Seed Farm (ASF) of NDSU Agriculture and Extension in Casselton, ND were used in our hydroponic experiments. |
 |
| The seeds were washed and socked in warm water for 5 hours. |
 |
| The seeds were kept in dark for the germination. It's sprayed using room temperature water twice a day. |
 |
| When seeds growing sprouts and long roots, they were moved under light for quick growing. After about two weeks, the pea shoots were ready for 1st harvesting. It may be harvested for second time. |
Testing and Calibrating the Hunter HPC-400 irrigation controller with Soil-Clik soil moisture module
 |
| Hunter HPC-400 irrigation controller with Soil-Clik soil moisture module will be used in two projects of remote-controlled automated irrigation with mulch for the production of specialty crops in Absaraka and Oakes, ND. This experiment is designed to determine the thresholds set in the control module to start irrigation at different soil moisture levels. |
 |
| A Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger and a AM416 multiplexer are used to monitor and record the data of soil water potential, soil moisture and soil moisture in the above mentioned experiment. |
