Field Scout Soil EC Meter
The Field Scout Direct Soil EC probe permits instant, accurate measurement of salts directly in
the soil as well as water or nutrient solutions. Use this portable EC meter and probe to measure
soil salinity directly on golf greens, fairways and athletic fields right on the spot, without
conducting tedious soil sampling and soil preparation.
You can test different levels in the soil profile with the eight inch long
probe. You can also use the probe to fine-tune your fertility program.
Measurement can be made directly in the soil without pulling soil
cores. Turf managers can monitor for high salt levels on golf course
greens and determine when to flush (leach) salts before turf quality
declines. Check your water quality or nutrient solutions using the same
probe.
Resolution 0.01 mS/cm. Accuracy ± 2%.
Automatic temperature compensation.
Includes case, calibration standards, and battery.
