Determination of Soil Moisture Content - gravimetric method.
In a bulletin, A
comparison of three methods of determining soil water content, the ThetaProbe and
Speedy Moisture Tester were compared to the more traditional gravimetric method, as means
of determining soil water content.
The ability of these methods to measure soil water content was tested on two contrasting
soils in KwaZulu-Natal. Regression analysis indicated that these methods were comparable
on a soil specific basis at the P 0,001 level of significance, and they were found to be
equally suitable for measurement purposes. Results and problems encountered for each
method are also discussed.
