quick overview :

• Base and inner disc to support soil filled container and plant, resting on a hydraulic sensing device located in the base that is connected to a graduated water column mounted above the lysimeter;
• Complete with spare plant containers, calibration weights,user instructions and manual.

Description:

The Demonstration Lysimeter consists of three 300mm diameter containers in which may be placed any soil type and a variety of crop types grown. Each container can then in turn be placed on a hydraulically mounted plate which is used to monitor system weight changes arising from evapotranspiration. Despite its simplicity, the apparatus has a high degree of sensitivity and may be used for student project work as well as for demonstration purposes.
