The key is knowing both when and how much to water!
Maintaining a healthy soil moisture and water balance is essential for producing high quality plants. Under-watered plants suffer from nutrient deficiencies, stunting and wilting. Conversely, over-watered plants are more susceptible to disease pressure and less tolerant of dry conditions later on in their life cycle. Extreme over-watering will suffocate the plant and lead to root death.
- Measures Volumetric Water Content (VWC) of soil
- Capacitance-type sensor responds immediately to changes in soil moisture content for better irrigation decisions
- Calibrated for mineral soils or soilless media
- Installs easily into 3/4 in (1.9 cm) hole
- Install permanently or use to take spot measurements
- Can be read with the FieldScout® Soil Sensor Reader (Item 6466) or WatchDog® 2000 and 1000 Series Stations
- Connect up to 8 sensors to one station Not compatible with 400/200 loggers. WatchDog Stations sold prior to 2009 must be upgraded. (call for support)
- NEW Calibration feature: Sensors with "3/14" code can be re-calibrated using the FieldScout Soil Sensor Reader (item 6466) or the WaterScout Calibration Device (item 6470CAL3V). Please see the product manual for calibration proceedure.

Soil Compaction Meters
Features:
- Fast and accurate measurements
- Detect accurate density
- User-friendly
Other Details:
Manufacturer: Spectrum Technologies Identify soil compaction with this digital compaction meter (penetrometer). Fast and accurate measurements and integrated data logger. Funtions with geo-reference (GPS/DGPS) tools. Soil Compaction Meter SC-900.Monitor overall soil compaction and quality, quickly and effectively with this digital penetrometer.The #1 source of yield loss in agriculture, soil compaction prevents moisture penetration, reduces fertilizer and chemical utilization and hinders plant root growth. In some cases, yield losses can run as high as 30% due to soil compaction. Don't let it go unnoticed.Soil Compaction meters (oftencalled penetrometers) are used to determine the density of soil and other material. An operator pushes a rod with attached (ASAE standard) cone into the ground. The resistance of the cone as it is pushed in the ground is measured and recorded in the memory of the compaction meter. The depth of thecone below soil surface is also measured and recorded in memory.Compaction data is recorded at displayed, at one inch intervals, in PSI or kPa. Built-in datalogger eliminates the need to record data manually. Included software allows user to download data, change logger settings and configure themeter.Measure, log, and review data with the SC-900 Soil Compaction Meter to make better soil management decisions based on data specific to your field. Identify and address specific problem areas on-site and in real time.
