Soil Moisture 101: Need-to-Know Basics

Soil moisture is more than just knowing the amount of water in soil. Learn basic principles you need to know before deciding how to measure it.
Webinars30 min watch

“​​One of the extraordinary things about working with (METER) was the extent to which they were receptive to a challenge. I could say, we're trying to figure out how we interpret permittivity data in a pathologically dry soil. And a week later, a model would come back...the response was—we know how to do that.
