Field Scout Soil EC Meter 

 

 

                   
 
The Field Scout Direct Soil EC probe permits instant, accurate measurement of salts 
directly in the soil as well as water or nutrient solutions. Use this portable EC meter and 
probe to measure soil salinity directly on golf greens, fairways, and athletic fields right on 
the spot, without conducting tedious soil sampling and soil preparation. 
 
You can test different levels in the soil profile with the eight-
inch-long probe.  You can also use the probe to fine-tune your 
fertility program. Measurement can be made directly in the soil 
without pulling soil cores. Turf managers can monitor for high 
salt levels on golf course greens and determine when to flush 
(leach) salts before turf quality declines. Check your water 
quality or nutrient solutions using the same probe. 
 

Resolution 0.01 mS/cm. Accuracy ± 2%. 

Automatic temperature compensation. 

Includes case, calibration standards, and battery.
