SOIL PENETROMETER

The Piket Mechanical Penetrometer is a soil compaction measurement device for determining the compaction of soil on agricultural land. It measures the depth of the subsurface. Each farm has its own unique soil condition. It is important to know the quality of your farm's soil condition to best monitor the impact of different farming methods on the soil. It works by piercing the ground to measure its penetration resistance and detect any compacted layers in the soil. This enables any loosening measures to be taken if necessary. Using the Piket soil penetrometer measurements means that you have knowledge about your soil's condition and enables you to manage the soils quality better. This is one step closer in making use of conservation farming methods.
