Measurement Insights

You’ve buried soil water content and water potential sensors in the ground, installed an ATMOS 41 in the field, and set up your ZL6 data logger. Your network of instruments has been collecting data for days, weeks, or even all season. Now what?

Explore how to minimize water, fertilizer, labor, and herbicides while growing healthy, happy plants.

Learn the pros and cons of each method, and how to select which will be most effective for your application.

Water potential is underutilized by plant researchers in abiotic stress studies even though it is the only way to assess true drought conditions when determining drought tolerance in plants. Learn what water potential is and how it can improve the quality of your plant study.
