Soil moisture & electrical conductivity

METER soil moisture sensors use capacitance technology with a high measurement frequency minimizing the affects of texture and salinity. The result is an accuracy of ± 3% using calibrations determined at METER for mineral soil or soilless growing media. A soil-specific calibration can be determined if greater accuracy is required. All METER sensors are low power, consistent, rugged, easy to install, and built for plug-and-play use with ZL6 data loggers and ZENTRA Cloud.

TEROS Line

Improved sensor design for durability with a field lifespan of 10+ years. The TEROS Borehole Install Tool (TBIT) makes the installation of these sensors faster, easier, and less prone to error while minimizing site disturbance.

Soil water potential/Soil suction

Solid matric potential sensors were designed to be maintenance free and cover the full range of plant available water

Solid matric potential sensors

The TEROS 22 is a full-range water potential sensor designed specifically for easier installation and removal using an auger hole instead of a trench and sidewall method.
Soil Water Potential and Temp
The TEROS 21 is a full-range water potential sensor compatible with the borehole installation tool, making it easier to install multiple sensors down the soil profile or co-locate water potential sensors with water content sensors
