The researcher’s complete guide to soil moisture
Everything you need to know about measuring soil moisture—all in one place.
Irrigation management
What if you could instantly determine if and when to water? You can. And not only that, it's easy. We've spent the last 20 years obsessing over how to make irrigation decisions simple for growers. Our world-class sensor system works together with powerful software to turn data into knowledge, so you know exactly what to do and when to act. Plus, it's easy to deploy and lasts for years in the field.

The complete guide to irrigation management using soil moisture
Irrigation management simplified. Perfect water and nutrient management without losing time and money to issues caused by over irrigation.
You don't need more measurements, just more insightful ones. Last year, one grower used METER soil water potential and water content sensors together to reduce his water use by 38%, saving him $13,000 in pumping costs. And that's not even the best part. His yield increased by 8%, and the disease he typically sees virtually disappeared.
Running a growing operation is complicated. You don't need more complexity from you equipment. Our sensors are plug-and-play, low-maintenance, and ultra-rugged, so labor costs are reduced. And our system is modular, so you can set it up for your exact needs. See everything. Miss nothing. Get the high-quality, real-time irrigation data you need to supercharge your yield, quality, and profit.
“Of all of the soil sensors we tested, the TEROS 12 not only provided the most accurate readings, but now in production they have also survived our vigorous process. Outstanding product.”
– Ruben Rascon, Bayer Crop Science
We believe in education
We're scientists. The quest for knowledge is in our blood. We've spent decades learning the best way to measure pretty much everything, so you can access a wealth of information.

How to improve irrigation scheduling using soil moisture
Every irrigator wishes for tools that answer the questions: when do I turn the water on and when do I turn the water off? The challenge is figuring out the right tools and implementing them effectively.
Water management: Plant-water relation and atmospheric demand
Going by soil moisture data alone? Other strategies, like plant and weather monitoring, can inform water management decisions.
Soil moisture: Why water content can’t tell you everything you need to know
If you’re only measuring water content, you may be blind to what your plants are really experiencing. Dr. Colin Campbell discusses how and why scientists combine both water content and water potential for more accurate insights.
