A Tensiometer is the only instrument that gives you the true moisture indication in the soil it is installed in. A soil moisture Tensiometer measures soil water potential/ matric potential – an indicator of the force that a plant/ crop must exert to obtain moisture from the soil/ medium it is planted in.
Thankfully, almost every crop important to us has an optimum matric potential value it thrives at and monitored agriculture focused on this value provides the highest naturally possible yield to the plant.
For a healthy crop, keep it at the optimum soil water potential and have highest yields and effect maximum savings today!
The AIC Tensiometer
The AIC soil moisture Tensiometer has now been around for almost 40 years. The most affordable instrument of its class, AIC holds sway over the Indian market. AIC Brochure
The Irrometer Tensiometer
Amongst the most easily recognised instruments of this family, Irrometer holds sway over the Tensiometry industry, with its options and reliability. IRROMETER Family Brochure
The Jet Fill Tensiometer
The all in one system that requires almost no accessories. The Model 2725 Jet Fill Tensiometer features the Jet Fill reservoir for push-button convenience and minimization of soil disturbance when servicing is required. SEC Tensiometers Brochure
The Meter Group systems
The most sensitive and accurate research grade, soil tensiometry systems, from Munich Germany. The soil water tension is directly conducted to the pressure transducer which offers a continuous signalin its T4, T5 & T8 systems. Read more
Soil Measurement Systems
The American scientific community vouches for Dr. Wierenga’s product line which remain customizable and thus trusted by most researchers. These gauge free Tensiometers (called tensimeters) use one read out unit to read multiple units at a go. They can also be setup with pressure transducers to datalog most conveniently. Read more
Readout options
Various readout options exist with each of the above varieties. The devices can be connected to irrigation & fertigation controllers or Dataloggers as per the user requirements.
Data logging is also popular often paired with telemetry. This allows the user to analyse data collected and study trends and act quickly when microclimates rapidly change.
Options range from Radio enabled networks for short range to Cellular and Satellite Communication options for very wide area and global networks
Each Tensiometer setup requires its own unique set of accessories.
