Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE QUANTIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF SOIL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/038623
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The various embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for identifying salination of soil by remotely determining the electrical conductivity (EC) of soil in vegetated and bare lands. The embodiments also provide a system and method for identifying salination of soil by remotely determining the imaginary part of the dielectric constant of the soil through C-band Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR). In the present invention, the three-dimensional density space is constructed with field-observed dielectric constant measurements of non-saline and saline soils. The present invention enables quantifying the soil Electrical Conductivity of the bare soils and the soils covered with crops of less than 0.5m height. The invention finds application in research groups working on agriculture related use-cases as the resultant product of the model is essential to carry out appropriate agricultural processes according to actual salinity level in the soil.
