Soil Moisture Probe for Davis Vantage Pro2 – Precision Irrigation Monitoring

Optimise water use and protect your crops with the Soil Moisture Probe for Davis Vantage Pro2. Designed for growers, turf managers and researchers, this probe delivers reliable in‑ground readings of soil water status so you can make data‑driven irrigation decisions. Built around proven granular‑matrix sensing, it offers stable, repeatable measurements across seasons, integrates seamlessly with your Vantage Pro2 system, and helps you save water, improve yield and reduce costs from day one.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Smarter irrigation planning – Know when to water and how much with clear insight into soil water availability, reducing waste and avoiding crop stress.
• Higher yield and quality – Maintain optimal soil moisture in critical growth stages, supporting healthier root systems and consistent plant performance.
• Cost control and sustainability – Cut pumping time and fertiliser leaching by irrigating only when needed, lowering energy use and supporting sustainable practices.
• Reliable, season‑long tracking – Granular‑matrix technology smooths short‑term fluctuations for trend‑focused decisions in field, greenhouse, orchard and turf applications.
• Seamless Vantage Pro2 integration – View soil moisture alongside weather, ET and temperature on your existing console or software for a complete agronomic picture.
• Easy installation and expansion – Add probes at different depths or zones to map your profile and fine‑tune irrigation by crop stage and soil type.

Featured technical specifications

• Measurement principle – Granular‑matrix (Watermark‑type) sensor that infers soil water tension via electrical resistance, providing a robust proxy for plant‑available water.
• Typical measurement range – Approximately 0 to 200 kPa of soil water tension, covering conditions from saturated to very dry soils for actionable irrigation thresholds.
• Compatibility – Works with Davis Vantage Pro2 when paired with the Davis Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station; ideal for integrating soil data with your weather station.
• Multi‑probe capability – Up to four soil moisture probes can be connected per dedicated station, allowing multi‑depth or multi‑zone monitoring.
• Cable length – Supplied with approximately 4.6 m of durable cable for flexible placement from the transmitter location.
• Installation depth – Commonly installed in the active root zone, for example 10–30 cm for turf and vegetables and deeper placements for trees and vines, depending on crop and soil.
• Low maintenance – No routine calibration required; pre‑soak before installation for fast equilibration and consistent early‑season readings.
• Intended environment – Direct‑burial design suitable for a wide range of agricultural and landscaping soils.
