🌱 The impact of low soil EC values

Main manifestations:
The soluble salt concentration in the soil is too low, indicating insufficient fertility.
Crops do not get enough nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.).

Harm to plants:
Slow growth, yellowing and shrinking leaves.
Decreased yield and poor fruit quality.
Especially serious for greenhouses or high-density plantings due to fierce root competition.

Common causes:
Over-irrigation leads to nutrient loss
Poor soil or insufficient fertilization
No replacement of nutrient soil or improvement of soil structure for a long time

Solutions:
Increase the frequency or concentration of scientific fertilization
Use compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer to adjust fertility
Regularly test EC values ​​to avoid nutrient deficiency

🔥 The impact of high soil EC values

Main manifestations:
Indicates that the soil contains excessive water-soluble salts.

Harm to plants:
Inhibit seed germination and seedling growth.
The root system has difficulty absorbing water, resulting in "physiological drought".
Causes salt damage symptoms such as leaf tip scorch, leaf yellowing, and root rot.
Soil compaction and microbial imbalance.

Common causes:
Excessive or frequent application of fertilizers
High salt content in irrigation water
Soil that has not been cleaned or diluted for a long time (especially in greenhouses)

Solutions:
Use deep irrigation with clean water (leaching method) to dilute the salt
Reduce the frequency of fertilization or use low-salt organic fertilizers
Improve the drainage system to avoid salt accumulation

FAQ

How do I use the EC-8801 Soil EC & Temperature Tester?

To use the EC-8801 Soil EC & Temperature Tester, simply insert the probe into the soil up to the desired depth, making sure it makes good contact with the soil. Turn on the device and it will display the electrical conductivity (EC) value and soil temperature on the screen. You can switch between °C and °F for temperature readings, and lock the readings by pressing the hold button. Ensure that the probe is cleaned after each use for accurate results.

What is the ideal EC value for my soil?

The ideal EC value depends on the type of plants you are growing. For most common plants, the EC should range between 1.0 – 3.5 mS/cm. If the EC is too high, it could indicate salt buildup, leading to plant stress. If the EC is too low, it may signal nutrient deficiencies in the soil. Regular monitoring is recommended for optimal plant growth.

Can I use this EC tester for both indoor and outdoor plants?

Yes, the EC-8801 is versatile and can be used for both indoor plants, such as orchids or succulents, and outdoor plants like vegetables, fruits, and flowers. The device works well in various soil types, whether in containers, raised beds, or garden plots. The IP67 waterproof rating ensures durability in outdoor conditions, even during light rain or high humidity.

How often should I test my soil's EC and temperature?

It's recommended to test your soil's EC and temperature every 2-4 weeks, especially during planting season or when the weather changes. Frequent testing allows you to track changes in soil conditions and make timely adjustments, such as modifying irrigation or fertilization schedules, to optimize plant growth.

What does the backlight display do and why is it useful?

The EC-8801 features a high-definition backlight display that ensures clear readings even in low light conditions, such as early morning or evening. This is particularly useful for users who are working in greenhouses or gardens with limited lighting, allowing you to monitor soil conditions any time of the day or night.
