TEROS 12 Advanced Soil Moisture Sensor + Temperature and EC
Soil can be highly variable in space, requiring many measurements and frustrating amounts of your research dollars. Not to mention the extra cost and hassle of replacement sensors if you need long-term data. Make large sensor networks simplet, longer-lasting, and more affordable with the ultra-dependable TEROS 12 soil moisture, temperature, and EC sensor.

Great results, affordable, reliable.
Soil humidity sensor plussoil temperature and electric conductivity
Easy to use and install with the installation tool when needed, which is also available for renting depending on your location. Reliable within soil variability, easy to connect with ZL6 sensor which allows data logging to the cloud, for a fee. Then you can review and download data from any location, including your desktop computer, but also in the field from a location to compare data with other locations. Or you can check single data from your cellular connecting you sensor to ZSC bluetooth port and Zentra Utility.

No need for calibration in most soil types
You don't have to worry about the complexity of calibration. We've already calibrated the TEROS soil moisture sensor to be extremely accurate in 95% of all soil types right out of the box.
We use a completely new calibration procedure that maximises accuracy and minimizes sensor-to-sensor variability while keeping the cost reasonable. So you can be confident that every sensor you install is going to read exactly like the next one. Unlike other sensors on the market which spec an unverifiable +-1.0% VWC accuracy, the TEROS 12 was rigorously tested by our soil physicists across a challenging range of soil types and EC levels so you can be confident in the accuracy o fyour data. If it's an unusual soil, or if you need even better accuracy, then a soil specific calibration might be the way to go.
Plus, TEROS sensor repeatedly can be checked with an accuracy verification standard, No other soil moisture has this ability. Just slide the verification clip onto a sensor and plug it into a logger. If it reads within the right range, your sensor is good to go.
Small soil moisture sensor lets you think bigger
The TEROS 12 delivers the best volume of influence to sensor size on the market so you're less susceptible to soil variability errors. We've optimized the circuitry in this 9.4-cm sensor to deliver an incredible one-liter volume of influence (versus the 200mL typical for most sensors). Most soil sensors that measure this much volume are 20 cm or longer, causing installation headaches. Not only that, you can cut your installation time in half or more when you install with the new Borehole Installation tool. The tool mistake-proofs installation, eliminating common errors that cause uncertianty in the data - like air gaps, or preferential flow.
