Hydrosense Portable Soil Moisture System
The HydroSense System combines a compact, handheld display and a
sophisticated soil water sensing probe in a portable package, providing
you with quick and reliable soil moisture measurements in
the field. Measurements are easily obtained by inserting the probe
rods into the soil and pressing a single button on the display unit.
For added flexibility the Hydrosense has two modes - Water Content
mode, which takes simple soil moisture measurements against standard
calibrations or Water Deficit mode, which allows users to set their own
parameters for up to 5 sites.
A choice of 12 or 20 cm long probe rods makes the HydroSense a versatile tool for monitoring and managing soil moisture in a wide range of applications and conditions.
