Measures volumetric water content
Affordable: ideal for large sensor networks
Simple sensor with excellent accuracy
Small volume of influence (eg., field spatial variability, lab column studies, or greenhouse research)
70 MHz frequency minimizes salinity and textural effects
Factory calibrations included for mineral soils, potting soils, rockwool, and perlite
Small size means easy installation
Plug and play capability
Easy integration with other systems
Use with ZL6 data logger to collect data remotely
