The Sensoterra app and monitor can show data in two ways:
Volumetric Moisture Content
and
Sensoterra Index.
Volumetric Moisture Content
The volumetric soil moisture content of the soil is expressed
in the app as Volumetric (%). Volumetric soil moisture data
provides a percent value of the soil moisture content of the
soil. It is simply the ratio of water volume to soil volume.
The volumetric soil moisture percentages allow for careful
management of soil moisture levels in your soil.
