Moisture Monitoring

Accurate moisture monitoring is one of the most important factors in making good irrigation decisions—and it plays a huge role in overall plant health, soil biology, and resource efficiency. We like to use tensiometers, a tool that directly measure the tension in the soil: how much pressure a plant’s roots must exert to draw in water.

Tensiometers display this tension on a gauge using a standardized unit—centibar (cb) or millibar (mbar)—both part of the same pressure scale (just a decimal place apart). This makes it easy to compare readings across different setups and depths.

On this page, you’ll find a variety of tensiometer lengths for measuring moisture at different soil depths, along with accessories for installation, maintenance, and system optimization.

  • DS-50CC Extraction Syringe

    IRROMETER Company, Inc. DS-50CC Extraction Syringe

    Description The syringe is used for extraction of the collected sample. Connect the plastic extraction syringe to the tubing by twisting it onto the end fitting and draw up on the syringe plunger to extract the soil solution for analysis. *Between samples, it is important to rinse the syringe with distilled water to prevent carry-over contamination from sample to sample. For Installation and Operation Instructions click here.

  • Irrometer 6" Low Tension (LT) Soil Solution Access Tube (SSAT)

    IRROMETER Company, Inc. Irrometer 6" Low Tension (LT) Soil Solution Access Tube (SSAT)

    Description SSAT (Soil Solution Access Tubes), or Suction Lysimeters, were developed to easily extract soil water samples for testing. They provide the user with an accurate method of determining salinity or plant nutrient levels. Because the sample is collected at root zone depth, it reflects the true impact fertilization has on the plant material. Understanding soil water conditions helps the user make informed fertigation scheduling decisions resulting in improved yield and reduced fertilizer, water, labor and energy costs. Features: Easy to install and use Low Tension tip (blue) for sandy soils and growing media Optional Double Suction line for longer tubes Collects soil water sample at the root zone Crop consultants, irrigation professionals and researchers find the SSAT particularly useful because of its ability to easily gather soil water samples for testing. Commercial growers see the value of soil water sampling at the root zone because it reflects the net "effect" that fertilization has as it interacts with previously applied nutrients in the soil. Scientists also use this equipment when identifying and researching environmental contaminants and their movement in soil. For more information see Irrometer's spec sheet and instructions.
