Soil

Microtensiometer sensors not recommended for use in soil. The existing installation method does not translate well to soil installation and would give inaccurate data. Furthermore, the sensor resolution of ~0.2 bars is too coarse for most soil applications, where the full range is often 0 – 1 bar. It’s likely possible to use microtensiometers to measure WP in very dry soils, but the installation method needs development.
