15 Soil matric potential sensors Soil water content sensors & probes

16 Based on the Sentek / C-probe Water content based on capacitance sensors 6 sensors per probe 4 to 8 depth intervals depending upon length Available in 32 to 60 lengths Advantages over predecessors: Thinner diameter easier to install Epoxy-filled for durability and less thermal noise Very clean signal

17 Relative permittivity of water is About 80x that of air Copyright Advanced Viticulture, Inc.

18 Volumetric Matric Potential Advantages Available in multi-level Easy to interpret patterns Can sum or average over soil profile True physical measurement Does not require calibration Disadvantages Very difficult to calibrate Therefore, not a physical measurement Discrete sensors not available in multi-level Measures only the wetter portion of SM Cannot sum over soil profile
