SOIL MOISTURE METER FOR GRASS
- 12 months limited warranty
- Soil Moisture (Volumetric Water Content)
- Settings for standard, hi-clay, or sand soil types
- Internal data logging up to 124,000 measurements
Accurate Soil Moisture Monitoring for Optimal Turf Health
Using advanced time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technology, this instrument provides fast and precise measurements of volumetric water content (VWC) in soil. Electrical conductivity (EC) readings reflect both moisture and salt levels, which helps refine VWC accuracy. Additionally, the device records surface soil temperature, offering a complete snapshot of soil conditions. Users can easily switch between measurement modes for standard, clay-rich, and sandy soils. The TDR 250’s shaft-mounted probe allows measurements while standing, and the integrated data logger eliminates manual entry.
