Moisture probe quickly measures, records in the field
Spectrum Technologies, Inc. has developed a portable soil moisture probe that features a modified off-the-shelf TDR-type sensor mounted on a 3-foot (.9-meter) T-handle shaft. Available 4.8- or 8-inch (12- or 20-centimeter) probe rods suit the measurement depth desired. The LCD display provides two modes of operation: volumetric water content or irrigation mode where the relative water content and the irrigation deficit is displayed. A GPS/DGPS-compatible data logger is integrated into the meter's electronics. Software is included with the Field ScoutT TDR 300 Soil Moisture Probe to download data onto a PC for analysis.
