Collection: Soil moisture sensors

Are you looking for a reliable way to measure soil moisture? Take a look at these soil moisture sensors.

Soil moisture can be measured and expressed in different ways: volumetric water content and soil water tension. A sensor that measures soil moisture using soil tension determines how much effort a plant needs to extract water from the soil. Meanwhile, a sensor that measures volumetric water content calculates the percentage of water present in the soil.

Both types of sensors are excellent for measuring soil moisture, but they serve slightly different purposes. You can find a detailed explanation in our blog: Watermark vs SMT100: volumetric water content or soil water tension?
