Product details

‘Virtual’ make tensiometer measures the force with which water is held in the soil by the soil particles. Scheduling irrigation based on how hard plant roots are working to draw water from the soil. This force, referred to as soil suction, tension, or potential, indicates how tightly the water is bound in the soil, and how much energy must be exerted by plant roots to remove and use the water. The basic components of a tensiometer include a porous ceramic cup, a plastic body tube, and a vacuum gauge. The ceramic cup is placed in good hydraulic contact with the soil and allows transfer of water into and out of the tensiometer body according to the tension in the soil. The vacuum inside the tensiometer body equilibrates with the soil water tension, and the dial gauge provides a direct readout of the tension.

Frequently asked by buyers

How does the 15 cm ceramic cup length affect the tensiometer's soil moisture measurement accuracy?

The 15 cm ceramic cup length provides optimal contact within the root zone, ensuring accurate hydraulic connectivity with soil moisture, leading to precise measurement of soil water tension at typical root depths.

Can this tensiometer be used in different soil types?

Yes, the porous ceramic cup and durable design allows the tensiometer to function effectively in a variety of soil types including sandy, loamy, and clay soils, though careful installation is necessary to maintain hydraulic contact.

What maintenance is required to ensure reliable readings with this tensiometer?

Regular refilling of the tensiometer tube with water is essential to maintain the vacuum seal. Periodic inspections of the ceramic cup for clogging or damage also help maintain accuracy.

How is irrigation scheduling improved using this tensiometer's readings?

By directly measuring the soil water tension, users can determine how much effort plant roots must exert to extract water, enabling precise irrigation timing that avoids overwatering or underwatering.

Is the vacuum gauge in the tensiometer easily readable in field conditions?

Yes, the analog vacuum dial gauge offers immediate and clear tension readings that can be easily read in various lighting conditions, facilitating quick decisions during field operations.
