Benefits
- Soil compaction prevents moisture penetration, reduces fertilizer and chemical uptake and hinders plant root growth.
- In some cases, yield losses can run as high as 30% due to compaction.
- This electronic soil compaction meter is the most versatile compaction meter on the market.
- Soil depth readings are determined by a sonic depth sensor.
- Cone index values are measured by a load cell sensor and can be displayed in PSI or kPa.
