How accurate are the measurements of the Volumetric Soil Sensor?

The accuracy of the measurements from the Volumetric Soil Sensor vary between the respective types of measurements and sometimes within the range of measurements.


Soil Moisture (VWC-Volumetric Water Content in %)

  • The accuracy lies at ± 3% between 0 - 50% VWC. 
  • The accuracy lies at ± 5% between 50 - 100% VWC.


Soil Temperature (degree celsius)

  • The accuracy lies at ± 0.5° between 0 - 50°C
  • The accuracy lies at ± 1° between -40 - 0 and 50 - 80°C


Electrical Conductivity (EC in dS/m)

  • The accuracy lies at ± 5% between 0 - 5 dS/m.
  • The accuracy lies at ± 10% between 5 - 23 dS/m
