Claim 17:
18. A method for continuous real time monitoring a crop growth, the method including the steps of:
providing field units for positioning within a boundary of a crop growth, wherein the field units are capable of coupling to accessories selected from the group consisting of soil moisture sensors, soil temp sensors, soil conductivity sensors, and soil oxygen sensors;
linking the field units to a base station;
transmitting and receiving data between the field units and the base station;
obtaining data corresponding to outputs from the accessories;
transmitting data corresponding to outputs from the accessories to the base station;
obtaining setting preferences for at least two items selected from the group consisting of the field units, accessories, a date range, and a soil decay rate;
generating values associated with field capacity wherein the values associated with field capacity depend upon volumetric soil moisture measurements detected over time; and
transmitting the generated determined values to a user within a day of obtaining data corresponding to the outputs of the accessories.
