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 Virtual Soil Moisture Tensiometer measure soil water tension?

It uses a porous ceramic cup that reaches hydraulic equilibrium with the soil moisture; the vacuum created inside the plastic body is indicated by an analog gauge which directly reads the soil water tension.

What is the benefit of the 45 cm tube length in this tensiometer?

The 45 cm length allows measurement of soil moisture tension within the typical root zone depth, providing more accurate data on water availability for crops.

Can this tensiometer be used in different soil types?

Yes, the porous ceramic cup maintains hydraulic contact with various soil types such as sandy, loamy, and clay soils, but calibration and installation depth should be adjusted accordingly.

What maintenance does the Virtual Soil Moisture Tensiometer require?

Periodic refilling of water in the tube, cleaning the ceramic cup to prevent clogging, and occasional calibration to ensure accurate readings.

Is this device suitable for both field and greenhouse applications?

Yes, the durable construction and easy installation make it suitable for both open field agriculture and controlled environment agriculture such as greenhouses.
