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 30 cm length of this tensiometer benefit soil moisture measurement?

The 30 cm length allows the porous ceramic cup to be positioned within the active root zone of many crops, providing accurate soil moisture tension data relevant for irrigation decisions.

Can the tensiometer measure soil suction in different soil types effectively?

Yes, the ceramic cup and vacuum gauge design enable the tensiometer to equilibrate with soil water tension across various soil textures, from sandy to clayey soils.

What maintenance is required for the Virtual Soil Moisture Tensiometer?

Routine maintenance includes cleaning the ceramic cup to prevent clogging and refilling the water column periodically to ensure accurate readings.

Is this tensiometer suitable for automated irrigation systems?

While primarily a manual gauge, it can be integrated with data loggers or manual readout-based irrigation scheduling systems but is not designed for direct automated system control.

How precise is the vacuum dial gauge in indicating soil moisture tension?

The vacuum dial gauge provides a reliable and direct readout of soil suction, with precision adequate for field-level irrigation scheduling and research.
