Soil Test Direct Soil Conductivity Tester

The HI98331 Soil Test™ is a pocket tester specifically designed to directly measure soil conductivity (EC) and temperature. With a compact size, single button operation, and automatic calibration, Soil Test is an excellent choice for taking direct conductivity measurements in soil. No need for soil slurries with the steel penetration electrode. Integrated temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation. Great for environmental and agricultural testing. Digital Soil Moisture Meter for Accurate Soil Health Monitoring The Hanna HI98331 Soil Test™ is a compact, professional-grade tool designed to give instant, reliable readings of soil conductivity (EC) and temperature—no messy soil slurries, no guesswork. Built for farmers, gardeners, and environmental pros who need data they can trust in the field. Why It's Smarter Than a Basic Soil Moisture Meter: 💧 Direct Soil EC Measurement: Built-in stainless steel probe penetrates soil for real-time results—skip the lab prep. 🌡️ Automatic Temperature Compensation: Delivers accurate EC readings regardless of environmental conditions. 🧰 Pocket-Sized & Rugged: Durable design fits in your hand or pocket, perfect for on-the-go testing in any terrain. 🧠 One-Button Operation: Simple interface with automatic calibration—ideal for beginners and seasoned pros alike. 🔋 Long Battery Life: Runs on 2 AAA batteries (included) with up to 500 hours of testing time. How It Works: Push the probe directly into the soil, press the power button, and get instant readings for electrical conductivity and soil temperature. The built-in temperature sensor ensures every reading is adjusted for environmental changes, providing highly accurate results wherever you test. Who This Is For: 🌱 Farmers & Agronomists – Optimize irrigation and fertilizer strategies with real-time soil data. 🌿 Gardeners – Monitor and improve plant performance in raised beds, pots, or home gardens. 🏞️ Environmental Field Scientists – Collect consistent data without the need for soil processing. 🏗️ Landscapers – Keep turf and plantings healthy with quick on-site diagnostics. What Customers Say: “Absolutely essential for our greenhouse trials. Quick, reliable, and never lets us down.”– Jordan R., Commercial Grower “Really impressed with how easy this is to use in the field—no mess, no hassle.”– A. Kim, Eco‑Researcher FAQs Can I use it in clay or sandy soils?Yes! The stainless-steel probe works across all common soil types. How often should I calibrate it?It auto-calibrates on startup. Manual calibration is only needed every 6 months for heavy users. Is it waterproof?It’s not waterproof, but it’s splash-resistant and built to withstand typical field use. Does it measure moisture directly?No. It measures EC, which strongly correlates with soil moisture and nutrient levels. What kind of batteries does it take?Two AAA batteries (included). Get Better Soil Data — Fast. Don’t settle for vague readings from analog tools. With the Hanna HI98331, you’ll make smarter decisions with clearer, real-time insights into your soil’s conductivity and temperature.
