HOBOnet T11 Soil Moisture & Temperature Sensor
The HOBOnet T11 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to not only measure soil moisture (volumetric water content) with better accuracy and precision but also provide soil temperature measurements. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, these durable sensors last up to 10 years, so you can leave them in the field for extended periods of time. Sharpened stainless-steel probes make installation easy, even in hard soil, and a large volume of influence provides better results and a more accurate view of soil moisture. Featuring the METER TEROS 11 soil moisture and temperature sensor, the HOBOnet T11 is backed by over 20 years of soil-moisture research and leverages METER’s trademark 70MHz frequency capacitance technology, minimizing salinity and textural effects.
