Soil moisture sensors

The Acclima True TDT sensor

A premium, research-grade SDI-12 probe that measures volumetric water content, bulk electrical conductivity, and soil temperature across the full 0–100% range.

The Acclima True TDT sensor

When you need the full picture

The Acclima True TDT is a waveform-digitizing time-domain transmissometer: it captures the full reflected waveform for a precise water-content reading, and it also reports bulk electrical conductivity — invaluable in saline soils or where salts move with irrigation and fertigation.

Why step up to the Acclima

Full 0–100% range

Measures volumetric water content across the entire range, including saturated soils.

Bulk EC sensing

Tracks bulk electrical conductivity, so you can watch salinity and fertigation alongside moisture.

Research-grade TDT

Waveform-digitizing time-domain transmissometry on the SDI-12 standard for repeatable, dependable data.
