What is a tender?
The Tentsometer is a tool used to measure the moisture content in the soil. It means the physical force of gravity and molecular bonds that must be overcome to pull water out of the soil. The water held in the soil is known as the water potential of the matrix. The tensionometer is used to measure how easy water can be extract from the soil and to assess how hard the plant will have to work to absorb water from the surrounding soil. The authorities who knew their irrigation requirements are able to set the irrigation schedule. They are able to assess more precisely how much water they need their crops and at what intervals they will need watering. This knowledge is particularly useful during dry periods. Tensometers are also easily managed and can be automated to check irrigation.ar glass or plastic, which is partially filled with water. The porous ceramic covering that allows water is located at one end of the tube. The other end has a vacuum breakup that measures the pressure in the tube. Tensometers moveFrom 6 inches (15.24 cm) to a length up to about 4 feet (about 1.22 meters), although there are mini-desetiometers that measure matrix water potential at a depth of 5 inches (1.27 cm).
The tensiometer's ceramic tip is inserted into the depth of the monitored soil. The tube that is partially filled with water has a vacuum and if the clotting or soil has occurred is otherwise moist, the ceramic tip absorbs moisture from the soil and the vacuum in the tube becomes weaker. Conversely, if the soil is dry, the water is pulled from the tube to the soil and the vacuum in the tube increases. The breakup measures the vacuum and registers its reading, and John in this way the tensionometer constantly records changes in soil water.
Tensometers usually have a limited area of reliability. Their values only show soil moisture in a small soil volume surrounding the area in which it is planted, so it cannot be calculated to deduct the entire place. In addition, tensiometers generally do not groundThey thus well in very dry or desert conditions, because there must be a certain amount of water in the soil to make the tool effectively function.
