Salinity / Temperature / Moisture Meter EC-300
These meters add a salinity tracking inductance sensor to the moisture and temperature. Together these help prevent yield loss and poor plant quality. Liquids: Tracking the salinity of water entering and leaving an area can be critical as water is conserved. High salinity levels entering the field will reduce yield and quality while excessively high levels leaving could mean the water is transporting fertilizers or other costly chemicals away. Soil: Readings taken in the soil root zone can help track the salt accumulation and determine the need for and effectiveness of leaching. This is extremely important to drip or low flow where leaching is not part of the natural process. Excessive salt buildup will lead to poor quality, lower yield and eventual plant death.
