Spectrum introduces WaterScout SMEC 300

Soil moisture/EC/temperature sensor has little impact on root zone.

Spectrum Technologies Inc. introduced their new WaterScout Soil Moisture/EC/Temperature Sensor which has earned an AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.

The new Spectrum SMEC 300 Sensor measures 3 key soil properties; moisture, EC, and temperature with little or no disturbance to the root zone.  The carbon ink EC electrodes provide a large conductive surface area.  The EC sensor can be calibrated with a simple, 1-step process.  Use the available hand-held reader to take fast and accurate spot readings.  Or, bury the sensor and track soil moisture changes over time with a WatchDog data-logging weather station.
