Q1: What is a healthy soil moisture level?
A1: A healthy soil moisture level varies depending on the type of soil and the plants being grown, but generally, it falls between 20% and 60% by volume. For most plants, a soil moisture level around 40-50% is considered ideal. This range ensures that the soil has enough moisture to support plant growth without being waterlogged, which can lead to root rot or other issues. Different plants and soil types have specific moisture needs, so it's important to adjust watering practices accordingly to maintain a healthy balance.
Q2: What is the difference between soil moisture content and soil moisture tension?
A2: Soil moisture content and soil moisture tension are related but distinct concepts in soil science. Soil moisture content refers to the actual amount of water present in the soil, typically expressed as a percentage of the soil's weight or volume. It indicates how much water is available in the soil for plant uptake and other processes.
In contrast, soil moisture tension, also known as soil water potential or matric potential, measures the force or pressure needed to extract water from the soil. It reflects how tightly water is held by the soil particles, with higher tension indicating drier soil where water is more difficult for plants to absorb. While moisture content tells you how much water is present, moisture tension reveals how accessible that water is to plants.
Q3: How to use a digital handheld soil moisture meter?
A3: 1. Take out the soil moisture meter, remove the screws, and open the battery cover on the back to install two AA batteries. Press the power button, and the device should display the test interface normally.
2. Clear the surface debris from the soil, avoiding rocks or other hard objects. Firmly hold the product and vertically insert the probe to about two-thirds of its depth into the soil without shaking it, ensuring full contact between the probe and the soil.
3. Press the test button; the values will start flashing. Wait until the values stabilize, then read the results. To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the temperature button briefly; each press will cycle between the temperature units..
Tips: Precautions for using soil moisture meter.
- Do not insert the metal probe of the moisture analyzer into very hard soil or other hard objects to avoid damaging the probe.
- This soil moisture meter is only suitable for testing soil; it should not be used to test pure water or other liquids.
- The probe should not be left inserted in the soil for an extended period to prevent corrosion, which could affect data accuracy.
- After using this moisture meter, the probe should be cleaned promptly to ensure it remains in a clean condition.
- Test results may vary at different soil depths, so it is recommended to perform multiple tests and take the average value.
- When testing soil fertility or pH levels, ensure that the soil being tested is kept moist.
