Hanna HI 993310 Soil Conductivity Meter

Conductivity meter / Measurement of conductivity and salinity in soil, ground, or solutions

The conductivity meter is especially suitable for determining the total mineralization of soil or earth. With this conductivity meter we obtain important information when assessing soil quality and the use of fertilizers.

The accumulation parameter "conductivity" informs about the presence of minerals in the soil. The amount and type of mineralization provide information about growth effectiveness. A lack of minerals always leads to plant damage. Regarding irrigation, the exact knowledge of water conductivity is an important factor in agriculture. Thus, continuous monitoring through soil conductimeters is a significant improvement.



The conductivity meter is appealing not only for the two probes for soil and fluids but also for both measurement fields of salinity and conductivity. An alarm is triggered when the amount of nutrients (nitrogen or potassium) is insufficient or if the soil is too dry. In this case, demineralized water should be added to the measurement test and then measured as soil solution.

- For use in agriculture, greenhouses, and geotechnics

- Includes 2 probes (earth and aqueous solution)
