When using the Water Deficit Mode, the same rod length
must be used for measurement as was used during
calibration of the reference levels.
5.4 A Water Deficit Mode Example
Consider an application where the HydroSense is used to help make irrigation
decisions for a crop. It is known that unacceptable plant stress occurs at water
contents less than 15% and excessive water drains from the plant root zone
when water content is greater than 30%. The 15% is chosen for the lower
reference level and the 30% for the upper reference level. The actual water
content values may be less important than the agronomist’s knowledge of soil
water conditions for a particular crop.
With the water content at the lower reference level, a measurement is taken
with the HydroSense after the site number is selected and while the CAL 0
