WaterScout SM 100 Soil Moisture Sensors
The key is knowing both when and how much to water!
Maintaining a healthy soil moisture and water balance is essential for producing high quality plants. Under-watered plants suffer from nutrient deficiencies, stunting and wilting. Conversely, over-watered plants are more susceptible to disease pressure and less tolerant of dry conditions later on in their life cycle. Extreme over-watering will suffocate the plant and lead to root death.
- Measures Volumetric Water Content (VWC) of soil
- Capacitance-type sensor responds immediately to changes in soil moisture content for better irrigation decisions
- Calibrated for mineral soils or soil-less media
- Installs easily into 3/4 in (1.9 cm) hole
- Install permanently or use to take spot measurements
- Can be read with the FieldScout® Soil Sensor Reader (Item 6466) or WatchDog® 2000 and 1000 Series Stations
- Connect up to 8 sensors to one station Not compatible with 400/200 loggers. WatchDog Stations sold prior to 2009 must be upgraded. (call for support)
- NEW Calibration feature: Sensors with “3/14” code can be re-calibrated using the FieldScout Soil Sensor Reader (item 6466) or the WaterScout Calibration Device (item 6470CAL3V). Please see the product manual for calibration procedure.
6460 WaterScout® SM 100 Sensor – 6 ft (1.8 m)
6460-20 WaterScout SM 100 Sensor – 20 ft (6 m)
Identify situations where soil salinity is an issue or where certain moisture and temperature conditions facilitate soil-borne diseases.
- 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 (Item 6466) or WatchDog 2000, 1000 Series Stations, and WatchDog Pups
- Connect up to 4 sensors per station Recommended placement of sensors is 10 feet separation to prevent EC interference when in the same medium
- WaterScout Calibration Device required unless using Soil Sensor Reader (Item 6466)
WatchDog Stations sold prior to 2012 must be upgraded (Contact for support)
