This package pairs the RS10 Data Logger with an AquaCheck Subsurface Probe, providing a complete solution for tracking soil moisture at multiple depths. Designed for agriculture and irrigation management, it delivers high-resolution soil profile data to help optimize watering schedules, reduce runoff, and improve yield.

Key Features & Benefits
Virtually maintenance free
Effective across a full range of soil types, from dry to saturated
Provides detailed soil profile charts and water content estimates by depth
Continuous monitoring using proven capacitance technology
Seamless integration with the RS10 via SDI-12 connection
Replaceable solar-powered battery for long service life
IP67-rated enclosure for rugged outdoor environments
Data accessible through the myRanch™ platform; exportable for analysis
Upgradable to real-time telemetry for remote access and automation

Typical Uses:
Irrigation Scheduling and Optimization
Determines when to irrigate and how much water to apply based on actual soil conditions.
Prevents water waste and plant stress by identifying when soil moisture reaches depletion thresholds.
Commonly used in orchards, vineyards, row crops, and greenhouse operations.
 
Soil Profile and Wetting Front Monitoring
Tracks how water moves vertically through the soil during irrigation or rainfall.
Identifies layered compaction zones or restricted drainage areas.
Helps improve soil management practices such as aeration and infiltration.
 
Root Zone Monitoring
Indicates which soil depths the crop is actively extracting water from.
Useful for understanding root development and crop water uptake patterns.
Supports variable-depth irrigation strategies (e.g., deep vs. shallow rooting crops).
 
Environmental and Hydrological Monitoring
Installed in forestry, watershed, and reclamation sites to measure infiltration, drainage, and soil water storage.
Supports studies of groundwater recharge and drought conditions
  
Greenhouse and Controlled Environments
Measures substrate or soil moisture for precision fertigation control.
Ideal for high-value crops like berries, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
  
Wireless Soil Monitoring
Collects readings from soil moisture probes and temperature sensors without long cable runs.
Enables distributed sensor placement across large or uneven terrain.
 
Field Data Collection and Mobile Testing
Used as a portable datalogger for temporary sensor setups, diagnostics, or new system commissioning.
Bluetooth connectivity allows real-time sensor verification through a mobile device.
  
Environmental and Water Management
Gathers data from flow meters, pressure sensors, weather stations, and soil probes for integrated water resource monitoring.
Commonly deployed in agriculture, irrigation districts, and environmental research networks.
