The handheld TDR300 is a reliable and precise tool designed to measure soil moisture across a wide spectrum of soil conditions. This versatile instrument is ideal for professionals in agriculture, horticulture, and environmental research who need accurate data to manage irrigation and optimize crop health.
The TDR300 offers the flexibility of choosing between two probe lengths: 12 cm (4.8 inches) or 20 cm (8 inches), allowing users to select the appropriate depth for their specific measurement needs. This feature is particularly useful in various soil types and conditions, where moisture levels can vary significantly at different depths. For those who need to push moisture readings deeper into the soil profile, a PVC access pipe can be installed, ensuring comprehensive soil moisture analysis.
The device is equipped with an intuitive LCD interface that offers two operational modes. The first is the volumetric water content mode, which provides a direct measurement of the water content in the soil as a percentage of the total soil volume. This mode is essential for understanding the overall moisture status of the soil, which is critical for irrigation management and crop health. The second mode is the relative water content mode, specifically designed for irrigation management. This mode allows users to assess the soil’s moisture relative to the field capacity, helping to eliminate the guesswork associated with pre-irrigation decisions. By using the TDR300, users can ensure that their crops receive the optimal amount of water, reducing waste and promoting healthy plant growth.
The TDR300 is suitable for use in all soil types, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. The unit measures moisture content as a percentage by volume, with a resolution of 1.0% and an accuracy of ± 3%, ensuring precise and reliable readings. Additionally, the device includes a data logger, allowing users to store and analyze moisture data over time. This feature is particularly valuable for long-term monitoring and trend analysis.
The TDR300 is powered by four AAA batteries, making it portable and easy to use in the field. The device is also compatible with GPS and DGPS systems, enabling users to geo-tag their measurements for precise location tracking. This functionality is especially useful for large-scale operations where understanding the spatial variability of soil moisture is crucial for effective management. Whether you're managing irrigation in a small garden or conducting extensive soil research, the TDR300 offers the accuracy and versatility needed to achieve optimal results.
