WaterScout SMEC 300 Soil Moisture/EC/Temperature Sensor – IC-6470-20

Whether it’s container pots in a greenhouse or turf on a putting green, the salinity of the root zone is a critical element for healthy plant growth. Irrigation, fertilizers, and crop demand all impact salt concentrations. High levels can damage the plant: low levels can lead to nutrient deficiencies.

Features:

– Capacitance-type soil moisture sensor- Carbon ink electrodes provide large measuring surface for electrical conductivity (EC)- Easy, 1-step EC calibration process- Can be read with the FieldScout Soil Sensor Reader (IC-6466) or WatchDog 2000 stations (IC-3320WD2, IC-3340WD2, IC-3345WD2 and IC-3350WD2)
