Product details
EC-5 sensorIt can measure the volumetric moisture content (soil moisture) of the culture medium and soil. Due to the high-frequency characteristics of EC-5, it greatly reduces the influence of electrical conductivity (EC) and soil texture on its readings, which is applicable to all soil types; High measurement frequency also improves the accuracy and range of the sensor.
