Cylindrical Gypsum Blocks

PRODUCT DETAILS

Prevent spoilage due to excessive water and poor drainage and see bigger and better crops at a lower cost! For use with the Delmhorst® soil moisture tester (C09026N). These gypsum blocks, the most widely used sensing unit, are easy to install and especially suited for extensive sampling of soil at various depths. The blocks are buried in representative areas in the field to monitor soil moisture changes in the area of active root growth. They are buried at one or more levels, depending on the crop and the depth of the root zone. When the blocks’ lead wires are connected to the meter, an indication of the available soil moisture is immediately obtained on the meter display. The meter readings can be converted into terms of available soil moisture or soil moisture tension by referring to calibration curves, which are part of the operating instructions. Each block is 7/8" dia. x 1-1/8" H. Pkg. of 10 with 6-ft. lead wires.
