Our Drill and Drop probe accurately measures soil moisture, temperature and salinity*.
The probe is fully encapsulated, easy to install and can be completely buried to reduce the risk of machinery damage.
Drill and Drop can be used for vegetable crops, fruit and nut trees, vines, berries, research projects and landscape management.
*Salinity measurement capability is optional.
