FieldScout TDR150 Soil Moisture Meter FieldScout TDR150 Soil Moisture Meter

Spectrum Technologies, Inc., the leading manufacturer of plant measurement technology, has announced the addition of two accessories for the FieldScout® TDR product line: Infrared Temperature Sensor and Rod Spacer.

The Infrared Sensor a ‘must have’ accessory for the TDR 350 and 150 models. With the Infrared Sensor, turf wilt can be predicted with higher accuracy. You can now easily correct a moisture deficit earlier and reduce heat stress to the green. Simply attach the sensor to the TDR 350 or 150 and begin to receive canopy and soil temperature readings in real-time every few seconds automatically or instantly with the push of a button. When pressing the “read” button, the IR temperature is logged along with soil moisture and EC to that GPS position using the FeildScout Pro App. View field readings in real time by using the TDR 350 in conjunction with the FieldScout Pro App and SpecConnect.

In addition, the Rod Spacer allows for soil moisture measurements at 0.5” (1.3 cm) or 1” (2.5 cm) depths when used in conjunction with a standard set of 1.5” (3.81cm) rods. Measuring shallow root moisture profiles are important to maintaining an optimal course environment. Too much or too little moisture in the top layer can affect surface firmness and overall course quality. Easily flip the spacer to switch between the two depth measurements ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Rod Spacers a user-friendly and versatile, designed to attach and detach from any Spectrum TDR meter including 350/150 or 300/100 models.
