Parameter to be measured:
Soil moisture
Method:
Frequency Domain Sensor working with the so called impedance-method
Equipment:
- Stevens: Hydra Probe II
Advantages:
- easy and fast measurement of punctual soil moisture
- manual as well as continuously logged measurements possible
Disadvantages:
- Each sensor has to be calibrated
- careful application of probe in stony soils
- Underestimating of permittivity in media with low permitivity (ε > 40, clay and organic soils)
What to watch out for:
- Good contact between probe and medium has to be prooved
Problems/Questions:
Links
