Spectrum Technologies, Inc. 3600 Thayer Court Aurora, IL 60504 Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your Field Scout Direct Soil EC Meter. This instrument has been specifically designed for direct measurement of salts in soil media as well as water or nutrient solutions. This manual describes how to use your meter and keep it working accurately for many years. Please read it thoroughly to get effective performance from your meter. The salinity of the soil solution, irrigation water or fertilizer solution is an important parameter affecting the root zone environment. Any of these factors can have a significant effect on plant growth and physiology. The easiest way to monitor salinity is by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC). EC is strongly correlated to the salinity of the soil solution. EC measurement is also affected by temperature and, to a lesser degree, by soil moisture content. Use this portable EC meter and probe to measure salinity in greenhouse soil media right on the spot without tedious soil...
