FieldScout SC 900 Soil Compaction Meter (Penetrometer)

Model： SC-900

Brand：Spectrum Technologies

Application: The soil hardness tester is used to assess the compactness of soil in the field. It helps determine the soil hardness level, a crucial factor in agricultural management and highway construction. Compact soil can prevent water infiltration and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, affecting plant growth. This device plays a significant role in guiding farming practices and efficient soil resource management.
