Advantages

There are two types of soil suction plates: glass and plastic.

Glass plates are especially used for the extraction of soil solution on large areas and for organic solutes. The unique design of the glass plates increases the rigidness and water uptake of the plate.
Plastic plates are specifically designed for the extraction of soil solution on large areas and the examination on heavy metals and phosphate because of their low charged surfaces. The unique tongue and groove system fitted on the plastic plates allow construction to any size.
