Note about Pore EC (EC
p
) calculations:
Failure to set the correct EC soil-parameter value will result in incorrect
measurement results, particularly as soils become drier. Note that in very
dry soils it is not possible to calculate EC
p
reliably, therefore an error code
value of -8020 is returned instead. Using the default soil-parameter value of
4.1 and the generic soil type calibrations, the lower soil moisture limit for
ECp calculations are:
