There are many reasons why soil moisture is an important part of our soil; soil moisture serves as a solvent and carrier of food nutrients for plants growth, it regulates the temperature of soil and plant, and it is essential for photosynthesis. Soil water is the principal constituent of growing plants, but also necessary for the metabolic activities of microorganisms.

Measuring the soil moisture suction tension can be done through indirect means with a durable non-salt-sensitive block, equipped with an 'open' condenser. The isolation characteristics of this capacitor can be measured. With our equipment it is possible to derive and display the value of the suction.

Measuring the soil moisture content as a volume percentage purely measures the amount of water per the volume of the soil. This moisture content is important for environmental research into acidification and pollution, but also as a factor for optimal plant growth and crop production. Our sets are perfectly suited for measuring the moisture content as a volume percentage.
