TreeSense Pulse is an innovative tree-monitoring tool that enables the collection of key data on trees’ water balance in real time. Effective use of the Pulse sensor requires specific conditions to ensure that the collected data is reliable and meaningful. The following section outlines the basic requirements for successful implementation and […]

The patented Watermark Sensor for determining soil water potential in kPa has been in use worldwide since 1978. But what exactly is soil water tension? Soil water tension refers to the force with which water is retained in the soil. It is measured in units such as centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa). This tension arises due to the attractive forces between the […]

TreeSense Watermark is an advanced soil moisture monitoring tool specifically designed for the precise measurement and management of plant water status. Like the TreeSense Pulse Sensor, the Watermark Sensor requires certain conditions to be met for effective use. These requirements ensure that the data collected is valid and useful for irrigation control. […]
