CAPACITIVE DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF SOIL AND HAVING A POROUS ACCESS ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a device which is provided for measuring the moisture content of soil, said device having at least one soil probe which comprises a support, a capacitive measuring device having at least one capacitor having a first capacitor element and a second capacitor element, between which an electrical field can be generated, wherein the capacitive measuring arrangement is disposed on the support, and at least one access element which covers the capacitive measuring device towards an outer measuring chamber which is open-porous and is impregnated with a hydrophilic material.
