Extraction equipment Lysimeter 30cm EE-300KE IRROMETER.
This equipment is necessary for the installation of the Lysimeter 30cm SSAT-LT-300 IRROMETER.
Sampling kit includes: Luer syringe, Luer cutoff wrench, service tube, and single line perforated rubber stopper.
The SSAT (Soil Solution Access Tube), or Suction Lysimeters, is a simple, low cost, non-destructive method technology that has been developed to easily extract soil water samples for analysis. They provide the user with an accurate method of determining salinity or plant nutrient levels. Because the sample is collected deep in the root zone, it reflects the true impact fertilization has on the plant material.
Understanding soil water conditions helps the user make useful fertigation scheduling decisions that result in better yields and lower fertilizer, water, labor and energy costs.
Features:
- Easy to install and use
- Low Voltage (LT) Tip (blue) for sandy soils and growing media.
- Double suction line, optional for long tubes.
- Collect soil water samples in the root zone.
In order to carry out an analysis, a sample of 10 to 15 cm3 is usually sufficient. The time required for the extraction of each sample varies depending on the humidity of the soil and the vacuum created in the instrument.
It should be kept in mind that the longer the instrument, the smaller the vacuum effect that can be achieved and therefore the longer it takes to obtain the moisture sample.
