The FieldScout SC900 Soil Compaction Meter measures soil compaction. Compaction compresses soil particles, reducing the available air space, making the movement of water through the roots difficult. This inhibits the growth of plant roots, negatively affecting crops, plants and turf health. Using a soil compaction meter will help guide decisions regarding areas of the field that require tillage, changes to crop rotation and planting of cover crops. Data can be collected with a USB flash drive. For instantaneous data upload and more detailed reporting and mapping abilities, add a FieldScout SpecConnect Cloud Solution Subscription. (GPS interface requires the GPS/DGPS Cable (Item #2950CV5) and the PC serial interface cable supplied by the manufacturer of the GPS receiver)
