Portable Soil Moisture Meter Kit with Probe
This moisture meter is a portable kit with everything needed to take rapid spot readings of soil moisture content. Originally designed for scientific use, it gives greenkeepers and groundsmen research-quality equipment without the complexity: just push the probe into the soil, press a button and read the % moisture content on the LCD.
Key Features
- Waterproof and rugged
- Stable performance, even in saline soils
- Causes minimal disturbance to the soil
- Readout unit stores up to 2100 readings
- Readings carry ID numbers for plot and sample
- Interchangeable probe rods extend the life of the moisture meter indefinitely
Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor
The latest generation of this probe brings extra features, better performance and a new look. Accurate to within 1%, it remains a benchmark for soil moisture measurement and now measures soil temperature too.
- Soil moisture with ± 1% accuracy: gold standard performance
- Built-in temperature measurement: ± 0.5°C accuracy
- Adaptable cable system: extendable and easy to handle
- White body: reduces radiative heating
- Improved performance in saline soils: usable in soils up to 2000 mS.m-1
Moisture Meter
Simple, versatile operation: the moisture meter packs impressive functionality into a compact handheld unit designed for field use. Readings appear on the LCD and can be saved to memory for later download to a PC, with up to 2100 time-stamped readings stored. It can be used one-handed for convenience in the field.
How to Use
Push the probe into the soil, press the button and read the % moisture content from the LCD. In hard soils, use the supplied insertion kit.
Applications
- Spot checking soil moisture content quickly and easily, so potential dry spots can be identified early
- Checking the performance of automatic sprinklers
- Determining the holding capacity of pitches, fairways, greens and tees after saturation, to optimise moisture levels for the best play and appearance
