HOBOnet Field Monitoring Solution 


 


HOBOnet TEROS 12 Soil Moisture/Temp/EC Sensor

The HOBOnet TEROS 12 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to not only provide advanced soil moisture (volumetric water content) measurements with better accuracy and precision but also measure soil temperature and electrical conductivity. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, these durable sensors last for many years, so you can leave them in the field for extended periods of time. Sharpened stainless-steel probe tips make installation easy, even in hard soil, and a large volume of influence provides more accurate results. Learn More >>


 


HOBOnet TEROS 21 Soil Water Potential/Temp Sensor

The HOBOnet TEROS 21 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure both soil temperature and soil water potential, a more accurate way to measure how much water is available to plants. The HOBOnet TEROS 21 Sensor is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, and it doesn’t require calibration for different soil types or salinity. Learn More >>


 


HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor

The HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure soil moisture and soil temperature at multiple depths with a single probe, for fast and easy installation. This durable sensor is available in three probe lengths for measurements from 45 cm (18 in) to 90 cm (35 in) deep. Featuring GroPoint’s TDT5 technology with patented antenna design, these sensors measure soil moisture along the entire length of each probe segment, resulting in the largest volume of influence per measurement section. A high frequency of pulses per measurement provides precise and consistent soil moisture data. Learn More >>
