Resistance to penetration

The carrying capacity of soil and the ease of plant root growth are determined by its resistance to penetration. This parameter varies based on factors like moisture content, density, and the cohesion between mineral particles. To measure soil penetration resistance and carrying capacity, our diverse instruments prove invaluable.
