METER’s soil moisture sensors do an excellent job of predicting accurate water content in most soils, but there are some soils (i.e., very sandy soils or heavy clays) that may require a better calibration to get the most accurate water content value. A soil-specific calibration may also help those who are working at the extreme edge of the measurement range.
Our standard soil moisture sensor calibration is good for most situations, but if your soil is not typical, a custom soil calibration can give you complete confidence that you’re getting the best, most accurate data in the field.
