Parameter to be measured:

Soil moisture, permittivity, soil temperature

Method:

Frequency Domain Sensor

Equipment:

SMT100 (TRUEBNER)

Advantages:

Low cost Easy to install, compatible with many loggers (RS485, SDI-12 or analog interface)

Disadvantages:

Soil specific calibration required for highest accuracy

What to watch out for:

Good contact between probe and medium required
