Moisture Meters (Irrometer & GDot)

Efficient irrigation improves yields, promotes plant health, and conserves resources.

Soil moisture sensors provide visibility in to the root zone, allowing managers to make informed decisions about when and how much to irrigate. While there are many different methods available for estimating irrigation demand, sensors allow for actually measuring it.

The Irrometer operates on the tensiometer principle and has been the industry leader since 1952. The Irrometer consists of a sealed water-filled tube equipped with a special vacuum gauge and with a porous tip that is installed in the ground at desired root zone depths. When the soil is dry, water is drawn out of the instrument, which is registered on the gauge. When irrigation occurs, the vacuum draws water from the soil back into the instrument. The Irrometer, in effect, is a dummy root.
