Stevens’ Hydra Probe II offers a unique advantage over other soil probes by providing an all-in-one, in-situ system that can measure many different parameters simultaneously. The Hydra Probe instantly calculates soil moisture, conductivity, salinity, and temperature as well as supplying the raw voltages and complex permittivity for research applications. The data adds science to soil management for better understanding of the impact soil conditions have on plants and the climate. The objective of the Hydra Probe is to optimize analysis of soil conditions for research studies and for enhanced quality and yield of turf and crops.
Hydra Probe sensing technology has been deployed for over 10 years by the USDA and is used by NASA for ground truthing of satellite based soil imaging. |
