Instrument Choice's team of scientists regularly reviews new and popular products, so you can make informed decisions when searching for the perfect scientific instrument for your application.
This edition reviews the highly popular, reliable and affordable ICZD06, a Soil pH and Moisture Meter brimming with user-friendly features and functions.
Why Measure Soil pH and moisture?
Soil moisture and pH are essential factors in the growth and development of healthy plants.
Soil pH critically affects a plant's ability to absorb and utilise vital trace elements essential for growth.
If plants are overwatered, the soil may become waterlogged. Waterlogging will cause the roots to die as they cannot absorb enough oxygen or develop root rot. Underwatering will make soils too dry, and your plants will start to wilt, lose their leaves, have slow growth, and eventually die.
Introducing the ICZD06 Soil pH and Moisture Probe for Plants
The ICZD06 soil pH and moisture probe is an affordable tool to help determine the correct soil pH and moisture balance for healthy, thriving plants. Incidentally, the ICZD06 is Instrument Choice's most popular soil measuring tool because of its extensive, user-friendly features paired with an unbeatable price.
ICZD06 Soil pH and Moisture Probe for Plants Features & Benefits
- Battery-free operation: The ICZD06 pH and Moisture Probe for Plants is entirely battery-free (uncommon these days), which means there is no risk of losing power in the field.
- 2-in-1: With the press of the button, you can switch the easy-to-understand dial between soil pH and moisture
- Analogue display: The large display dial provides straightforward access to measurements.
- Broad measuring range: The pH range is from 3.0 to 8.0, and the moisture levels cover from 1.0 to 8.0 degrees (1.0 being dry and 8.0 wet).
- High accuracy: The unit's accuracy level is plus or minus 0.2, so it's suitable for a wide range of common applications.
- Long probe: A robust 30cm probe permits soil moisture and pH measurements at varying depths, covering most test requirements.
- No calibration required: If measurement discrepancies occur, restore the ICZD06 pH and Moisture Probe for Plants' accuracy by removing any oxidation from the probe with fine sandpaper.
