WATERMARK SOIL MOISTURE DATA RECORDER

The Watermark Soil Moisture Data Recorder is a precision handheld meter designed to read Watermark granular matrix soil moisture sensors. It converts the electrical resistance of the Watermark sensor into soil water tension, allowing accurate monitoring of soil moisture status in the root zone. This data helps farmers, agronomists, and researchers optimize irrigation scheduling, improve water-use efficiency, and maintain crop health.

With an easy-to-read LCD display, durable construction, and simple one-button operation, the Watermark Soil Moisture Meter is suitable for field use under various environmental conditions. The device can record multiple sensor readings, store data for later download, and is compatible with standard Watermark 200SS, 200SS-1, and similar sensors.
