Agro-Lysimeter
The cylindrical stainless steel
monolithic lysimeter has a surface of 1 square meter and a monolith depth of 1 meter.
The upper ring with a height of 35 cm is removed to cultivate the field.
The field soil water tension in 90 cm depth is transferred into the lysimeter by the suction cup rake with an active surface of 3600 sq. cm, coupled with leachate measurement with 0.1 mm (100 ml) capsulated tipping bucket.
Typical Applications
- Measurement of root water stress, leachate water amount and solute freight under field conditions of a commonly cultivated field.
Advantages
- Measurement of water content in depths of 20 cm (root area) and
90 cm (below root area) - Water tension at 10 cm for description of root water stress
