Soil Moisture Conservation Methods, Techniques, Tips Today, we discuss the topic of soil moisture conservation methods in agriculture farming. The important objective of soil moisture conservation is to minimize the amount of water lost from the soils through evaporation (water loss directly from the soil) and transpiration (water loss occurring during the plants) or combined, the evapotranspiration. Preserving soil moisture is an important means to maintain the required water for agricultural

Soil moisture sensors that measure the moisture tension in the soil are read out with the soil moisture meter Watermark. The measuring principle is similar to that of the gypsum block system. The special sensors however do not dissolve in the soil and have a more consistent distribution of pores so that more accurate measurements are possible. Benefits Soil Moisture Measur

The kit comprises an SM150T* Soil Moisture Sensor, a dedicated HH150 Moisture Meter and a carry case. The cable and connector are watertight – an essential requirement for potentially wet environments. The HH150 Meter displays volumetric water content (% volume). Please note that although the SM150T Sensor has a built-in temperature sensor, the HH150 Moisture Meter does not measure or display temperature.

The HS2P is a combination of the Hydrosense II soil-water sensor with a strong handle and pole that make it easier to insert the probes into the soil. The lightweight pole allows soil testing without bending over. The HS2P is compact and portable, with the layout of the buttons on the display allowing for operation with one hand. Two different probe lengths are available, for different types of soil or turf.
