Soil Moisture Tester
The Model KS-D1 Digital Soil Moisture Tester, together with the Type GB-1 Gypsum Soil Blocks, make up a system valuable in monitoring the soil moisture available to be plants. This system eliminates guesswork so that irrigation can be effectively scheduled according to plants' requirements.
The KS-D1, housed in a rugged ABS plastic case, features reliable
temperature stable semi-conductor technology with internal battery and calibration
checks for users' full confidence. A membrane switch panel provides positive,
tactile feel. Spring-loaded binding posts allow for positive contact with the
blocks' leads.
| SIMPLE OPERATION |
| The blocks are buried in representative areas in the field to monitor soil moisture changes in the area of active root growth. They are buried at one or more levels, depending on the crop and the depth of the root zone. When the blocks' lead wires are connected to the meter, an indication of the available soil moisture is immediately obtained on the meter display. The meter readings can be converted into terms of available soil moisture or soil moisture tension by referring to calibration curves, which are part of the operating instructions. |
