Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water depth gauges, and in particular to a field water depth gauge for identifying waterlogging in corn fields. Background Technology

[0002] Corn, also known as maize, is one of the world's most important food crops. It is not only a vital food crop but also known as the "king of animal feed," serving as a major source of animal feed and widely used in industry. Waterlogging of corn refers to a disastrous phenomenon caused by excessive water accumulation in the field, resulting in prolonged soil saturation and root hypoxia, hindering corn growth. Waterlogging not only directly damages the physical structure of the crop but also indirectly affects crop growth by altering soil chemistry and microbial communities, leading to decreased yield and quality. This is especially true during the summer corn growing season, when concentrated rainfall easily causes field flooding and damage. Waterlogging of corn is typically identified by measuring the depth of water accumulation in the field.

[0003] However, existing field water depth gauges have a simple structure, making them inconvenient to measure and observe field water depth at night or in dim environments, and thus relatively unreliable to use. Utility Model Content
