Suction probe technology
-
The constituents and composition of soil water and soil air provide important
information for the analysis of substance transportation and substance
spread in soils and permit insights into internal processes through
to “... soil life (=Edaphone)...”.
Suction probes offer the possibility to obtain samples of the soil water or of
the soil air for subsequent analysis.
The suction probe itself is installed in the soil. The vacuum created by a
vacuum pump draws the water or the air into sampling vessels. -
