Tensiometers benefit irrigation control research
Forestry Suppliers’ tensiometers withstand fixed installation in the field thanks to hermetically-sealed resilient neoprene jackets that protect against weather and shock. A neoprene O-ring stem seal allows the dial gauge to be removed or oriented in a convenient reading position. The vacuum gauge with large dial face is graduated from 0 to 100 centibars of soil suction.
Micro-managers for every micro-climate
Rain Master’s Oasis smart ET/weather-based irrigation controller features two-way communication and Smart Alerts.

Trencher provides excellent traction
Barreto Manufacturing’s new 1824TK track trencher features a 238-square-inch footprint providing straighter trenches and improved flotation on unstable soil. A safety clutch on the left handlebar engages and disengages hydraulic power to the track drive and digging chain without micro-switches or killing the engine.
Efficient pop-up sprinklers

Telescopic pop-ups for new and retrofit installation jobs
Hit Products introduces 7- and 13-inch telescopic pop-up sprinkler heads feature 4 and 6-inch pop-up bodies, respectively, requiring less digging and labor on new irrigation installations. A minimum of 20 psi is required for positive pop up.
Soil moisture sensor delivers right amount of water
Irrometer’s WaterSwitch soil moisture control ensures plant material gets the proper amount of water every time you irrigate. A Watermark sensor in the soil sends moisture information to a control module that regulates water cycles. No seasonal adjustments are necessary.
