Soil Test Kits
The (agricultural) soil test kits offer simplified methods for determination of available nutrients found in agricultural soils. A series of rapid, accurate chemical tests. use standardized reagents to produce color reactions measured against laminated color charts. Colorimetric test methods are used for most test factors. Some tests are based on turbidity measurements. A single extraction procedure (We recommend our water samplers for obtaining soil water samples from root zones) provides the liquid soil extract for all the nutrient tests. Soil pH is determined colorimetrically, covering the range of pH 3.8 to 9.6. Complete reagent refill packages are available for each outfit. All kits outfits are furnished in lightweight carrying cases with components securely mounted.
Weather Stations
Our micro climate weather stations are an automated version of the traditional weather station, to save human labour and to enable measurements in remote areas and localized geographies. An AWS will typically consist of a weather-proof enclosure containing the data logger, rechargeable battery, telemetry (optional) and the meteorological sensors with an optionally attached solar panel or wind turbine and mounted upon a mast. The specific configuration may be customised to the purpose of the system.
Soil & Sediment Sampling Equipment
PSP - Euro - Dutch Design Augers
This type of soil auger is by far the most used auger. The typical design of the Euro design auger allows for a minimum of friction during penetration into the soil, and the extraction of the auger from the soil, which means less physical effort.
PSP - Screw Spiral Auger
The spiral auger operates similar to a corkscrew and does not cut off the soil. The auger is usually applied when hard layers need to be penetrated. The spiral auger has a negative end, i.e. the centre of the auger end is whetted away.
PSP - Piston Sampler
The piston sampler differs completely in design and application from the augers described before and is very suitable for sampling less cohesive soil layers (sand) below the groundwater table. The piston sampler is also suitable for sampling sediments with a sand content.
PSP - Bailer Sampler
The stainless steel bailer samplers have been developed to sample still water (or other fluids) at any required depth. The bailer sampler consists of a stainless steel tube, open at the top-end and fitted with an unscrewable cap at the bottom. A one way valve is fitted at the bottom. As soon as the water sampler is lowered it can be lifted again. To assure a proper replacement of the contents during the lowering, the sampler is lifted half a meter several times.

Undisturbed Soil Sampling
PSP - Soil Core Sampler
With this sample set, undisturbed samples can be taken in virtually all soils to a depth of 2 metres with a diameter of 53 millimetres, provided there are no rocks in its way. The samples can be taken from the surface, from the bottom of auger holes or from soil profile pits, both above and below the groundwater level.
Undisturbed Soil Sampling
