IRROMETER TENSIOMETER
The instrument measures soil water tension (or suction). This value represents the energy a plant’s root system uses to draw water from the soil. Understanding soil moisture dynamics helps the user make informed irrigation scheduling decisions, resulting in improved yield quantity and quality while reducing water, fertilizer, labor and energy costs. Available in different lengths: 15 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm.
