Overview / Features

You need sensor longevity

Soil can be highly variable in space, requiring many measurements and frustrating amounts of your research dollars. Not to mention the extra cost and hassle of replacement sensors if you need long-term data. Make large sensor networks simpler, longer-lasting, and more affordable with the ultra-dependable TEROS 11 soil moisture and temperature sensor.

Better accuracy—verified

The TEROS 11 uses a completely new calibration procedure that maximizes accuracy and minimizes sensor-to-sensor variability while keeping the cost reasonable. So you can be confident that every sensor you install is going to read exactly like the next one. Unlike other sensors on the market which spec an unverifiable ±1.0% VWC accuracy, the TEROS 11 was rigorously tested by our soil physicists across a challenging range of soil types and EC levels so you can be confident in the accuracy of your data.

Plus, TEROS sensor repeatability can be checked with an accuracy verification standard. No other soil moisture sensor has this ability. Just slide the verification clip onto a sensor and plug it into a logger. If it reads within the right range, your sensor is good to go.

Small sensor lets you think bigger

The TEROS 11 volumetric soil moisture sensor delivers the best volume of influence to sensor size on the market so you’re less susceptible to soil variability errors. We’ve optimized the circuitry in this 9.4-cm sensor to deliver an incredible one-liter volume of influence (versus the 200 mL typical for most sensors). Most soil sensors that measure this much volume are 20 cm or longer, causing installation headaches. Not only that, you can cut your installation time in half or more when you install with the new Borehole Installation tool. The tool mistake-proofs installation, eliminating common errors that cause uncertainty in the data—like air gaps, or preferential flow. And the TEROS 11 is plug and play with the cloud-connected ZL6 logger. No programming required. See your data instantly in real time, wherever you are.

Unbeatable price to performance ratio

With you for the long haul—guaranteed

The culmination of our new TEROS water content line, the plug-and-play TEROS 11 makes your life easier with a large volume of influence, reduced sensor-to-sensor variability, and a near-bulletproof form factor—which lasts up to 10 years in the field. These innovations, along with our well-published capacitance technology, an accuracy verification standard, real-time, remote data visualization with ZENTRA Cloud, and a blazing fast installation tool have combined to generate our most accurate, easy-to-use, highly durable—yet still economical—soil moisture sensor. We’re so confident about the long life of our TEROS 10, 11, and 12 sensor line, we’ve increased our standard warranty from one to three years.

Legendary technology—long-lasting performance

Backed by over 20 years of soil moisture research, the TEROS 11 combines METER’s well-tested 70 MHz circuitry with an extremely ruggedized epoxy fill and securely attached, sharpened stainless steel needles that easily slip into the soil and are resistant to salts, so you can worry less about sensor deterioration. Very low power consumption and a high resolution provide increased precision over a longer period of time. If you’re planning a long-term large sensor network and want long-lasting performance for less work and less of your research budget, then choose the TEROS 11.

TEROS 11 FAQs

What are TEROS installation best practices?: See the TEROS sensor installation best practices video here.

How do I assemble the borehole installation tool?: See the instructional video here. Written instructions are here.

How can I perform a SOIL SENSOR CALIBRATION?: The SOIL SENSOR CALIBRATION written instructions are here. Watch the video for soil-specific calibration here.

How can I splice a broken wire?: You can use the quick method (instructions here) or the complete method (instructions here).

Is there a paper you can refer me to concerning the effects of digging a trench on the soil at a site?: I don’t have a specific paper to refer to on this topic. The concern with large trenches is the way it affects water movement through the soil near the sensor. Depending on how the trench is repacked you can wind up with preferential flow paths which will result in faster water migration through the soil profile. For more information on this topic, see our article: "5 Ways Site Disturbance Impacts Your Data."

Where could I find the protocols and good experimental design to publish scientific research articles for watering requirements and watering optimization?: I would focus on a literature review that takes in papers on water requirements and optimization and carefully study their protocols and match your efforts with their designs, with improvements. Generally speaking, good sensor-to-soil contact and carefully derived models for water uptake along with weather data for water use using crop coefficients and ET are things to consider.

How can you tell the relationship between satellite images and sensors for intelligent irrigation?: This is a critical area or research at the moment. There are several institutions currently with projects trying to relate the two. Currently, I am involved in a project where we are using satellite data like Normalized Difference Water Index and ECOSTRESS to correlate with individual soil moisture sites in the field. We will use the trending information from the field data with the infrequent snapshots of the satellites to combine for a complete picture (we hope). Since they are massively different scales, this effort will be challenging.

How is it possible to remove the sensors from the soil at the end of the season?: Most water content sensor installations are permanent because removing the sensor is difficult. In the agricultural setting, the sensor and cable are often installed below the working layer. However, there are some rod type profile sensors that extend above the surface and can be removed each year. The accuracy of these sensors isn’t great, but sometimes it is good enough.

What are good soil moisture sensors for a park?: The TEROS 10, TEROS 11 and TEROS 12 are ideal for use in a park. They are commonly used to monitor irrigation in turfgrass and other agricultural situations.

How is the sensor-to-sensor repeatability with TEROS sensors?: For the TEROS 11 and TEROS 12 is it extremely tight. We normalize each sensor to make sure it reads like every other TEROS 11/12. Our tests show that we maintain repeatability to well within 1% water content. The TEROS 10 doesn’t have a microprocessor to allow the normalization procedure, so we have to depend on really tight manufacturing processes. We can still hold that entire population to within about 2% water content.

Which sensors are adequate for measuring water in individual potted plants and the whole nursery?: The dielectric sensors are commonly used in individual pots. You’ll just need to pick a sensor that will fit in the chosen pot size. The TEROS 12 is a really popular choice for potted plants because it measures water content and electrical conductivity, which is an indicator of fertilizer level. The trick with measuring in potted plants is to pick plants that are representative of the larger nursery or irrigation zone because it is generally far too expensive to instrument each pot.

Is there a reason for TEROS 12 sensors that are placed perpendicular to the soil instead of horizontal?: The only reason is to avoid having the body of the sensor impede water flow through the soil. That effect is pretty minor, but it can cause a time lag in the soil moisture signal as the water has to redistribute around the sensor.

What is your water content measurement advice for tree plantation? Are there any limitations? Any patterns?: There are no problems with measuring water content in that scenario. One consideration is getting a measurement that is representative of the root zone. This is pretty easy if you’re relying on rain or using overhead irrigation. Sensor placement becomes more important if you’re using a drip irrigation system though. Many people place the sensors directly under the emitters if using drip.

What type of sensors work best in substrate growing?: Generally, the dielectric soil moisture sensors are used. Often fertilizer levels are important, so growers will use a combination water content and electrical conductivity sensor to measure both water and fertilizer. The TEROS 12 is a really popular choice for substrate growing.

How reliable are measurements in saturated and highly variable soil conditions, such as peatlands?: The measurements are fine in such a scenario, with one limitation. Once the peat is saturated at the level of the sensor, more water can be added to increase the ponding height, but the sensor will still only measure the saturated water content at its level until the water recedes. In peat, you’ll likely want a substrate-specific calibration for best accuracy, since the organic material is a bit different from mineral soil. See our calibration instructions for some step-by-step instructions for the substrate-specific calibration if you’re interested.

If roots grow between the sensor needles over time, how does it influence the measurement? How do we work around it?: The dielectric measurement will measure all the water in its measurement zone, including the water in nearby roots. So, it is possible to get enough rooting density in the measurement volume to affect the measurement. This might lead to a bias in the measurement, but there is really no work-around. In practice, the effect is pretty small, so water content sensors are used in agricultural/irrigation settings extremely often with no noticeable problems.

How does air impact sensor data, for instance in a shallow installation of 1-2 cm or in a narrow soil column, when the volume of influence is usually a sphere of 5-10 cm diameter?: This is difficult with most sensors. The dielectric permittivity of dry air is close to 1, while the permittivity of water is 80. While some amount of air exists in all soil pores, a significant amount of air within a sensor's volume of influence will reduce the accuracy of its readings, which is why we recommend an installation method that provides good soil-to-sensor contact. You can expect to see a 2-3% underestimation of soil volumetric water content if you install a TEROS sensor with the body of the sensor on the soil surface. You can correct for this with a custom calibration if desired.

Be aware that temperature readings taken by a sensor installed on the soil surface will be influenced by absorbed solar radiation and not necessarily representative of the soil temperature.

It is possible to measure the volumetric heat capacity of soil using a dual needle heat pulse sensor on the 1-2 cm spatial scale. Volumetric heat capacity is linearly related to water content, so the conversion is pretty easy. Making that heat capacity measurement is pretty involved though, so only a few researchers use it for this purpose, but it has been done. Contact customer support if you want more details.

How is dielectric measured? In which units?: That’s a trick question! But only because dielectric is a unitless quantity. It is ratio of charge storage in a medium to the charge storage in free space. It can be measured in many ways, including travel time of a pulse (TDR, TDT), charge time of a capacitor, or resonance frequency. Various soil moisture sensors make use of these different measurement techniques.

Is it a challenge to keep the water content sensor in place while you backfill with soil?: That is a good question and one I also had when we were developing the concept of the installation tool. Fortunately, it has not proven to be a problem except in dry, coarse-textured soils. The pins on the TEROS sensors do a pretty good job of anchoring the sensors in place while the soil is repacked behind them. But, in dry sand, it is difficult to even keep the auger hole intact, not to mention keep the sensors in place.

How does soilless organic media such as biochar or coco coir affect dielectric sensor accuracy? Does the physical shape and size of the pores holding the water being measured affect the measurement since it affects the electrical path between the anode and cathode?: Fortunately, the shape and size of the pores has little effect on the dielectric measurement. The electromagnetic field will polarize all the water molecules within the volume of measurement regardless of pore geometry. But, with organic materials, the dielectric permittivity of the low-density material is generally lower than that of mineral soil. So, accuracy can suffer, with the dielectric sensor measuring water content biased low. With these unique materials, I always recommend a substrate-specific calibration. We have some detailed instructions on how to create this calibration here. You’ll notice that there is a special procedure for coir since it is pretty difficult to work with.

Are there any special considerations for very rocky soils or areas where the soil water content is typically very low as in the Mojave desert?: Low water content is not a problem and can be measured accurately by the dielectric sensors. Rocky soils are difficult for all soil sensors though. Best-practice installation techniques of inserting sensors into undisturbed soils may not be possible in rocky soils. You may have to remove some rocks and install the sensor into re-packed soil with no rocks. This will affect accuracy some, but precision should still be good.

What is the best sensor to track the excessive moisture content in the soil? What are the moisture ranges for these sensors?: Good question. Our TEROS 10,11, 12 water content sensors will tell you how much water is present, so they can characterize the degree of saturation, which is an indicator of excess moisture. The TEROS 32 tensiometer will characterize the soil suction, and maybe even more importantly positive pore water pressure, both of which are important for slope stability and soil engineering projects. I’m not a civil engineer, but my understanding is that the combination of degree of saturation from the water content sensors and soil suction from the TEROS 32 is the optimal combination for understanding soil strength. Both sensor types work great in the excess moisture range, but the TEROS 32 will fail in dry soil.

What are the applications for soil moisture sensors in asphalt pavements?: Here is a case study about soil moisture sensors in asphalt: http://publications.metergroup.com/Sales%20and%20Support/METER%20Environment/Website%20Articles/Compression-testing-of-soil-moisture-sensors-embedded-in-asphalt.pdf.

What was your experience developing soil moisture sensors for NASA's JPL Phoenix Rover? Why did the sensor also record thermal conductivity? Were there any interesting findings?: Don’t get us started! The experience was great overall. The team we worked with at JPL were really good scientists and engineers. The thermal properties measurements were intended to be a ground-truth for remotely-sensed regolith thermal properties data, which are key to understanding the depth of penetration of solar heat. All of the measurement functions on the TECP worked well, and the project is considered highly successful. Maybe the most important finding was the vapor phase migration of water into the regolith as the regolith cooled with Martian winter approaching. The increase in dielectric permittivity that TECP measured was far larger than expected, probably due to water interacting with perchlorate salts in the unfrozen phase. We shot a video with the lead JPL researcher a while back. You can check it out here.

How do you deal with extremes in salinity - high or low?: Low salinity is generally not a problem for most water content sensors. Extremely high salinity can be a problem. With TDR, high salinity can attenuate the signal to the point where no water content measurement is possible. With some of the capacitance type sensors, the accuracy can be really poor in high salinity soil. A soil-specific calibration can fix this for the capacitance sensors. The water content measurement of CDX sensors like the SOLYX 14, however, is largely insensitive to high electrical conductivity. Learn more about the SOLYX 14 here.

Which is better for water content sensors: vertical installation of installation at an angle?: Either installation is fine. Find more installation tips here.

If wanting to irrigate from a minimum percentage of soil moisture, which depth should we take into consideration?: The most meaningful depth is typically the depth with the highest root density. But, multiple depths do bring additional information. Often growers will place two sensors in the root zone and one below the root zone. The third sensor below the root zone helps control leaching fraction.

Do you think dielectric is a more accurate option than a pressure chamber for almonds?: The dielectric measurement gives you a nice time-series of soil water content that you can monitor remotely. The pressure chamber will give you the water potential of the almond tree itself. The pressure chamber water potential measurement is a far better indicator of the water stress status of the almond tree. But, the downside is that collecting pressure chamber data is difficult and time consuming. Many growers use the pressure chamber measurement to “calibrate” their soil water content measurements, and figure out what water content starts to cause too much water stress. This makes the time-series water content data really powerful and convenient for quantifying water stress.

How difficult is calibration of dielectric sensors?: The process is not difficult, but it does take some care. We have some detailed step-by-step instructions online here. If you don’t have the equipment, time, or desire to do this procedure yourself, we also offer a service to do the calibration for you if you send us a sample of your soil/substrate. You can contact [email protected] for details about the soil-specific calibration service.
