Water is essential to life – whether human life or plant life. You cannot be sure whether you are watering enough or too much. Simply looking at or feeling the soil does tells you very little about the real situation at the roots under the soil surface.
The Agretosoil Moisture Meter accurately measures the soil moisture. All you need to do is insert the metal probe into the soil so that it reaches the root of the plant. The probe tip sends a moisture level reading to the dial of the meter. Based on this, you can understand whether it requires more water or not.
While plants like to have a constant access to water, slight drying out of the soil before watering can encourage root growth.
Have a look at some of the other benefits of using a Soil Moisture meter:
- Good plant health: The most crucial advantage of using a soil moisture meter is you will be able to understand the needs of your crop much better. It is not easy to know when your plants need water, and imperfect watering can lead to long term damage or sometimes plant death. Without access to adequate water, roots cannot absorb nutrients from the soil. When you water more than required, plants are starved of oxygen, cannot process nutrients and root cells die.
- Water-saving: Water is expensive and increasingly, in short supply. The saying, “water as much as necessary and as little as possible “ remains true. When you overwateryour crop, you are not merely wasting water, you are wasting money and doing damage to yourself and your crop. When you check the moisture content of the soil, you can easily remove the guesswork.
