Existing reviews of Speedy Soil Moisture Sensor, EC/Temp
We are evaluating an ATO-SOIL-RSSC2 device designed to support soybean and corn planting decisions (planting depth 3–5 cm). We need to differentiate the moisture content of this soil layer from the average moisture content of deeper soil layers. Please confirm the following before purchasing: Accuracy: Does the displayed moisture percentage refer to volumetric moisture content (m³/m³)? Does the ±2% error refer to absolute percentage points or relative error? Horizontal Installation at 3–5 cm Depth: Can a 60 mm long probe be inserted completely horizontally into an exposed but undisturbed soil profile at a depth of 3–5 cm while maintaining nominal accuracy?

1. The definition of humidity percentage: Yes, the humidity percentage displayed by this device refers to volumetric water content (usually expressed as %). In the technical specifications, the moisture parameter range is 0-100%, which corresponds to the percentage expression of volumetric water content.
2. The ±2% error refers to absolute percentage points, not relative error; test report data cannot be provided.
3. Horizontal installation at a depth of 3–5 cm has not been tested; this depth may be too shallow. 5–10 cm is recommended.
