CONTINUOUS SOIL MOISTURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

Key Features

Measuring daily plant stem expansion and shrinkage on a continuous basis provides a specific data signature which is indicative of the internal condition of the plant as well as internal plant water status.

How
Data is transmitted via a radio network to the local base station connected to your PC. Data is captured every 15 minutes ensuring realtime continuous data of the soil moisture content of the spesific profiles.

Software
Flexible vierwing options water management information is automatically downloaded to a PC for closer analysis with the user-friendly PlantPlus software. This gives the grower a range of options from making instant and accurate decisions in the field to using the best irrigation management software availible. The software graphically presents the state of the soil moisture, allowing accurate and timely decisions to be made on how much and when to irrigate.

 

C-Probe is a permanent soil moisture monitoring device measuring soil moisture over the depths of a crop's rootzone. C-Probe consists of a soil probe and data logger connected to a radio transmitter, allowing the grower to measure soil moisture content.

Why?

Software
Flexible viewing options such as graphical display of soil water status over the entire measured root zone enables the grower to view soil water status after the data has been downloaded from the logger. The powerful, user-friendly PLANT-Plus software will offer various ways to view and interpret the data. It also offers a function where actual irrigation recommendations can be viewed.

How
To take a reading, the handheld logger is held over the permanently installed probe to download the latest continuous readings. Whereafter the readings can be downloaded to you PC and the data being shown on the powerfull AquaCheck software.

The following items are available as part of the AquaCheck System:

The AquaCheck system now also offers a short distance telemetry option. This option allows the grower to download data remotely via the new RF handheld logger. The telemetry version of the probe can also be connected to an automatic rain gauge as well as one additional analogue sensor such a dendrometer or temperature sensor.
