Field Scout EC Soil and Water Meter Probe with 2.76 mS/cm calibration fluid and hard case included (ECM-1-N - EC)
The Field Scout Direct Soil EC Meter permits instant, accurate measurement of salts directly in the soil as well as water or nutrient solutions. Use this portable EC meter and probe to measure soil salinity directly on golf greens, fairways and athletic fields right on the spot, without conducting tedious soil sampling and soil preparation. Simply turf unit on, put soil EC probe directly into the ground and read the meter. The readings are at the tip of the probe so you and also see salinity levels at different depths of the soil profile be inserting the probe deeper. Measures up to 7 1/2 inches deep (19 cm). It also works directly in water or spray tanks.
Now with the Field Scout EC Soil Meter you can test different levels in the soil profile with the eight inch long probe. You can also use the probe to fine-tune your fertility program. Measurement can be made directly in the soil without pulling soil cores.
Turf managers can monitor for high salt levels on golf course greens and athletic fields with the Field Scout EC Soil Meter to determine when to flush (leach) salts from the soil profile before turf quality declines. You can also check your irrigation water quality or nutrient solution tank mixes using the same meter.
Field Scout EC Soil Meter tests EC directly in the soil, just insert the probe and read the digital readout screen. Different depths can be checked for EC levels to see if you are flushing the salts from the soil or if they are building up in layers in the soil profile, impeding root growth.
