Soil moisture measurements and field data from agricultural fields in Flanders (2021–2023)

This dataset contains soil moisture data from 18 open-field vegetable cropping cycles in Flanders (Belgium) between 2021 and 2023. Measurements include continuous soil moisture sensor data (TEROS 10 at 15 cm depth), manual gravimetric soil moisture samples from the top 30 cm, and soil physical properties such as bulk density and water retention. Field-specific data on irrigation, crop type, soil type, planting dates, and local weather conditions (ETo and precipitation) are also included. The dataset was compiled to support research on real-time soil moisture modeling, irrigation scheduling. It is part of the DRIP project ("Datagedreven Regeling van druppelirrigatie voor een duurzame Productie in de tuinbouw").
