ARIMAD-A Water Potential Measurement for Agriculture

An instrument for Measuring the Water Potential of Plants
ARIMAD uses a pressure chamber of the “Schulander” type to measure water potential of plants. This indicates:
-  prevailing soil moisture condition;
-  influence of environment factors
-  state of water within the plant

ARIMAD is light and portable. It can be operated easily by one person anywhere.

ARIMAD tests are simple and short. The five steps are:
-  Selecting a representative leaf
-  Preparing the instrument
-  Inserting pressure in the chamber
-  Reading the plant’s water potential.
ARIMAD is a plant tester in contrast to other instruments which test soils or climatic conditions. The pressure chamber method demonstrates the plant’s reaction to moisture excess or deficiency.
This data will determine an exact irrigation schedule.
