In any agricultural irrigationenvironment, a grower is constantly faced with the need to more eefectivly manage his / her irrgation scheduling routin. Soil moisture measurment, on your farm, in your crop and soil type and with your irrigation method, has proven to be an effective and inexpensive irrgation management technique. the irrigation of agricultural crops has a single purpose - to help a farmer make money from his labor and capital. producing a greater crop yeild and quality, lower per unit cost, and put more money in the bank at harvest.
the instruments 46908 & 46909 are a digital instrument for the measurment of soil moisture. the instrument has two probes : a moisture probe and a pointed temperature probe for the automatic temperature compensation (so its possible to use the instrument only like a thermometer for checking the temperature in the soil or inside the fruit)
The soil moisture sensor (granular matrix sensor) is an indirect, calibrated method of measuring soil water (in model 46909). It is an electrical resistance type sensor, read by the hand held meter which converts the electrica resistance reading to a calibrated reading of centibars of soil water suction.
