Gives a direct reading which defines soil condition. Includes easy to follow, complete instructions, plus a guide on procedures for soil improvement if you have high or low salinity. This tester determines the electrical conductivity of the soil and provides a direct readout plus a chart which tells you what your soil condition is. Very low salinity means lack of fertilizer.
Growth is slower and yields are smaller.
Very high salinity leads to crop injury due to dehydration even if water is present because plant roots cannot absorb the available water. Either condition can be corrected once the salinity is determined. You will know when to leach or take other remedial action. Also includes a technical bulletin discussing the subject of salts content.
