Abstract
A method for continuous real time monitoring of a crop growth including the use of a telescoping sensor mount capable of systematically extending a sensor above a crop growth canopy. The method includes determining a value associated with soil saturation, soil nitrogen mineralization, and growing degree units. These values are made available to the user real time. The telescoping sensor mount of the invention includes a foldaway tripod support system and is further capable of being powered with solar energy.
