What the Handi-TRASE Measures
The Handi-TRASE is designed to measure soil water content in a portable format, helping users evaluate how much water is present in the soil at specific points in the field. Because soil moisture can vary across locations, depths, and conditions, portable measurement is valuable when users need to compare sites, assess variability, or gather repeated readings across a transect.
Using TDR technology, the Handi-TRASE provides a reliable approach to soil moisture measurement in field environments where accuracy and portability are both important. It is especially useful for applications such as transect sampling, remote sensing ground truthing, and practical point measurement, where users need a more efficient alternative to destructive or labor-intensive soil sampling methods. This makes it relevant in both commercial and research settings where organized, repeatable, and field-ready soil moisture measurement is required.
Core Measurement Capabilities
The Handi-TRASE is built for users who need portable and dependable soil moisture measurement across multiple field locations.
Portable Soil Water Content Measurement
Supports point-based soil moisture assessment in a practical field-ready format.
TDR-Based Measurement
Uses Time Domain Reflectometry to provide reliable soil moisture readings in research and applied field conditions.
Transect and Field Sampling Use
Well suited for multiple measurements across a site where users need to compare soil moisture conditions from one location to another.
Point Soil Moisture Measurement
The Handi-TRASE is useful where users need direct soil moisture readings at specific locations in the field.
Transect-Based Monitoring
Its portable design makes it well suited for transects and repeated measurements across multiple monitoring points.
Remote Sensing Ground Truthing
The system can support ground-truthing activities where field soil moisture measurements are needed to complement remote sensing observations.
Research and Field Surveys
It is valuable in research and survey work where portable, repeatable, and reliable soil moisture data is required.
Practical Field Assessment
The Handi-TRASE supports efficient field work in applications where users need quick and dependable soil moisture information without relying on destructive sampling.
