Why did we create it?
• Soil moisture probes are difficult and time-
consuming to install – existing soil moisture
probes require a lot of time and energy,
especially when inserting down to 1.2 m ( 48”)
… until NOW!!
• The Drill & Drop measures an undisturbed soil
medium, not a soil slurry that fills the air gap
between soil and probe, which is being used by
most soil moisture probe manufacturers.
• The slurry invites preferential path flow of water
along the probe, providing misleading and
potentially crop damaging information to the
irrigator.
