Don't let compacted soil reduce your crop yields - monitor soil compaction quickly and easily with this tester

The agraTronix Soil Compaction Tester allows you to check your soil for hardpan quickly and easily, regardless of the soil type. The color-coded, liquid-filled dial reads in pounds per square inch of pressure it takes to penetrate the soil. Benefits of soil compaction testing are increased yield by increasing root and plant development, increased effectiveness of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, and increased soil water retention.
