HydroSense® Water Content Sensor

The HydroSense System combines a compact, handheld display and a sophisticated soil water sensing probe in a portable package to provide quick and reliable soil water content measurements. Each measurement takes less than one second and is obtained by inserting the probe rods into the soil and pressing a single button on the display unit. A choice of 12- or 20-cm long probe rods makes HydroSense a versatile tool for monitoring and managing soil water in a wide range of conditions.
