Perform soil moisture measurements in the root zone and maintain consistent turf quality.
Using time-domain reflectometry, the unit quickly and accurately determines volumetric water content (VWC) in soil. Electrical conductivity (EC) is a function of the moisture and salt in the soil that can be factored out to increase the accuracy of VWC measurements. The meter also measures soil surface temperature. The user can quickly transition between taking VWC readings in standard, high-clay, and sand soils.
The TDR 250 soil moisture meter’s shaft-mounted probe allows the user to take measurements while standing. The built-in data logger eliminates the need to record data manually.
Measurements can be saved to a USB flash drive using the built-in USB port.
