DELMHORST Digital Soil Moisture Meter

Compact Soil Moisture Meter is Portable and Easy to Use

Accurate soil moisture measurements are critical for determining proper irrigation rates for higher crop yields and effective plant growth. This Digital Soil Moisture Meter uses a series of gypsum blocks and wire leads placed at various depths to produce a profile of available soil moisture. Blocks are made of gypsum cast around stainless steel electrodes for maximum uniformity and fast response to changing moisture conditions. The Meter has a rugged ABS case and features temperature-stable semiconductor technology, calibration checks, large LCD and spring-loaded binding posts for positive contact with the gypsum block leads.

Bury several blocks in representative areas to monitor changes in active root growth at one or more levels. To read the available moisture, simply attach the wire leads to the terminal posts on the meter. Readings can be converted to soil moisture or moisture tension. Operating instructions included.

Meter comes with carrying case and 9V battery. Gypsum Block sensors sold separately in pkg. of 4 with 6'L leads.

Range: 0.1–15 bars tension. Display: LCD with 0–100 arbitrary scale.
Dimensions: 2-3/4"W x 4-3/4"L x 1-3/4"D. Weighs 8 oz.
