Soil Solidity Measuring Instrument

Product Introduction:

Soil solidity measurement is the use of a soil solidity meter to measure the ability of soil to resist external deformation. When the probe of the soil compaction meter is pressed into the soil, the spring proportional to the resistance received by the probe will also be compressed accordingly, thereby measuring the compaction of the soil. The measurement results are usually expressed in terms of pressure per unit area, used to evaluate whether the soil is too compacted or loose.

Working principle:

Soil solidity refers to the soil resistance equivalent to the vertical pressure when a plunger (or cone) is inserted into the soil, also known as penetration resistance. It is usually measured using a solidity meter (hardness tester). The measured values of the same method are mainly determined by soil texture, capacity, and moisture content. The impact of moisture content is the greatest among them. Soil solidity can predict soil carrying capacity, tillage ability, and resistance to root extension.

Application scope:

1. Evaluate soil structure: By measuring soil solidity, the structural condition of the soil can be understood, providing a basis for rational planting, scientific irrigation, and soil health management.

2. Optimize agricultural practices: Assist in determining the operational resistance of agricultural machinery in the soil, guide timely plowing, raking and other agricultural activities, and avoid difficulties in sowing and mechanical damage caused by overly tight or loose soil.

3. Monitoring the cultivability of farmland: Regularly measuring soil solidity can determine the cultivability of farmland and guide agricultural production.
