Detailed description:

The EC-5 is an affordable, accurate sensor designed to measure volumetric water content (VWC) in soils and soilless media. It uses capacitance/frequency domain technology to provide research-grade accuracy, with minimal effects from salinity or texture. Its small size (5 cm) allows for easy installation in the field or in nursery pots. The sensor’s analog signal enables seamless integration with third-party systems. Ideal for large sensor networks, the EC-5 offers cost-effective monitoring while maintaining high accuracy, making it suitable for research, field studies, and greenhouse applications.
