Soil moisture sensors
Soil moisture is the water content (also moisture content) of the soil - that is, the amount of water contained in a soil at a specific point in time. Our various sensors measure the gravimetric or volumetric water content proportionally or in volume %. When installing the soil moisture sensors make sure that the measuring rods have a good contact to the surrounding soil. Air-filled hollow spaces between the soil and the rods lead to distorted measurement results. An insertion tool with thinner rods than those of the probe facilitate the installation and enable a good contact.

Our sensors measurement technology
What is the purpose of determining soil moisture?
- Understanding of soil behavior and internal soil processes
- Evaluation of soil fertility
- Estimation of plant growth, plant water demand and consumption
- Control of irrigation measures
- Assessment of the water storage capacity of soils
- Assessment of infiltration capacity, deep percolation and leaching of chemicals to groundwater
- Knowledge of other physical properties of soils (plasticity, consistency, bearing capacity, etc.)
- Measurement data for water balance studies
