Using Soil Moisture Sensors in Plant-Water Relations Studies
Dr. Jonyun Kim explains why soil moisture sensors help control substrate water contents, estimate plant water use, and understand drought physiology.
In this webinar, Dr. Jongyun Kim describes how he used soil moisture sensors and data loggers to get real time substrate volumetric water contents during his research on plant-water relations. The use of METER soil moisture sensors gave him the ability to control substrate water contents, estimate plant water use, and understand drought physiology.
