Soil Moisture Readings (4" under turf)
Use this table as a general guide to interpreting soil moisture readings. Monitoring the soil moisture readings, and comparing them to your field or lawn conditions over time, will help you develop a better understanding of how to interpret your soil moisture readings.
Update time: 2/22/12 at 11:30.
Current soil moisture reading is 44 centibar (cb). High today 45 cb. Low today 42 cb .
Current soil temperature is 46°F. High today 46°F. Low today 44°F.
Current leaf wetness reading (0 dry to 15 wet) at 42" above ground level is 0. High today 15. Low today 0.
| Centibar Reading | Soil Condition |
| 0 - 10 | Saturated Soil. |
| 10 - 30 | Soil is adequately wet ( except coarse sands which are drying out at this range) |
| 30 - 60 | Usual range to irrigate or water (except heavy clay soils). Irrigate at the upper end of this range in cool humid climates and with higher water-holding capacity soils. |
| 60 - 100 | Usual range to irrigate heavy clay soils. |
| 100 - 200 | Soil is becoming dangerously dry for maximum production. Proceed with caution. |
