Soil Water, Fertilizer and Salinity Monitoring Sensor
TriSCAN continuously tracks fertilizer salts and soil water at multiple depths in the soil profile.
Coupled with Sentek’s IrriMAX software, this solution is the most comprehensive irrigation and fertigation management tool ever developed by Sentek.
The TriSCAN sensors are available in both the EnviroSMART and EasyAG probe format making it ideal for
deep installations as well as shallow rooted crops.
The EnviroSMART probes have the flexibility to be able to combine standard Sentek sensors with TriSCAN
sensors at any 10cm interval. An economical alternative is the TriSCAN EasyAG which is pre-assembled and
has fixed TriSCAN sensors to depths of either 50cm or 80cm.
The TriSCAN is designed for fertilizer and salinity management in research, agriculture and environmental
applications. The TriSCAN sensor is optimized for one of agriculture’s most common soil texture of sands and sandy loams, and is currently not suitable for clays.
TriSCAN Sensor
The TriSCAN sensors utilize Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) to measure soil water and salinity.
A high frequency electrical field, created around each sensor, extends through the access tube into the
soil, to provide an extremely accurate soil moisture and salinity measurement.
By employing a patented measurement technique the TriSCAN sensor is able to distinguish between soil water
content and salt content. This information is then processed using a Sentek derived model to calculate soil
volumetric ion content (VIC).
