Soil Penetrometer

A penetrometer is a simple tool with which to gauge the structure of soil by measuring the degree of soil compaction at various depths. Penetrometers measure relative soil airiness providing an indication of how much oxygen is available for soil microbial life.

• Monitor highly compacted soils and measure the improvements as farming practices are modified
• Alter tillage techniques and timing to see when relative improvement occurs

Pike Agri-Lab Supplies has developed a durable hydraulic gauge penetrometer with stainless steel rod.
