Innovative Equitensiometer for soil water potential measurement |
|
● Worldwide, the first highly accurate instrument for measuring soil matric potential (suction, soil moisture)
● Cover the whole range of soil water potential in which plant growth occurs ( 0 to -1500 kPa or 0 to -15 bar)
● Maintenance-free for outdoor conditions, not affected by over-range
● Independent operation on a wide range of soil types and conditions
● Very low power consumption
● Easy installation
● Data recording with data logger or display with simple voltmeter
● More than 5 years field testing |
