Soil moisture meters
-
Soil moisture is a determining factor for plant growth. It is therefore of great significance from the point of view both of agriculture and environmental protection. It influences chemical processes in the soil and therefore the formation of soil itself as well as the spread of pollution and contaminants. The measurement of soil moisture permits the determination of favourableand unfavourable plant locations, the recognition of changes in the ecological systems and statements to be made about important soil and water balance processes. The control of soil moisture, for example for agricultur alirrigation, can be optimised and automated by way of permanently monitoring soil moisture. The easy-to-install field meters determine the soil moisture in directly via correlating parameters and therefore offer a good alternative to the time consuming direct determination of soil moisture through drying in the laboratory. They facilitate permanent monitoring and the electronic recording of soil moisture.
