Soil moisture sensors

The SMT100 soil moisture sensor

A robust TDT probe that measures volumetric water content and soil temperature and calibrates itself to your soil — the standard sensor behind SoilSense systems worldwide.

The SMT100 soil moisture sensor

Proven accuracy, soil after soil

The SMT100 uses Time Domain Transmissometry (TDT) to measure how fast an electromagnetic pulse travels through the soil and converts that into volumetric water content. Because it adapts to the soil it sits in, you get dependable readings in sand, loam, and clay without manual tuning.

Why growers choose the SMT100

Auto-calibrating TDT

Adapts to your soil type automatically, so readings stay trustworthy as conditions change across the field.

Moisture and temperature

Reports volumetric water content and soil temperature from a single, compact probe.

Built for the field

A sealed, durable body designed to stay in the ground season after season.
