Suction Lysimeter

The Suction Lysimeter is a precision field instrument designed to collect soil water samples from the root zone for chemical and nutrient analysis. It works by applying a vacuum to a porous ceramic cup inserted into the soil, drawing soil solution into the collection tube. This allows agronomists, hydrologists, and environmental scientists to monitor nutrient leaching, soil chemistry, and irrigation impacts on crops.

Constructed with high-quality materials, the Suction Lysimeter is durable, portable, and suitable for field and greenhouse use. It is compatible with most soil types and is widely used in agricultural research, environmental monitoring, and precision irrigation studies.
