Soil Moisture

Soil Moisture (TDR)

TDR (Time Domain Reflectrometry) allows very accurate determination of soil moisture content. The TRIME TDR system has excellent characteristics:

Very small portable device, not much larger than a calculator.
Immediate soil moisture reading as percent by volume.
Simultaneous TDR level can correlate with soil conductivity.
Rechargeable batteries allow up to 300 measurements on one charge.

Different probe lengths available.
Can be used with tube probe as possible replacement for neutron probe.
TRIME probes can be networked for automated measurements.

This technology is very special and Van Walt is proud to represent the very progressive manufacturers IMKO. We would encourage you to visit their site on www.imko.de which gives a very good description of this complicated subject.
