2.3.2 Results
The results from measurement of absolute volumetric soil water percent (VSW%) from prepared soil
samples using the MP306 are given in Figure 1. This result is typical of the results obtained from
comparative testing of the MP306 in prepared soil samples, for a wide range of agricultural soils.
