In Silt Loam soil all probes gave satisfactory results for the first measurement (13,5%
gVWC ±2.49), 10b being the exception with 5.3% VWC deviation. For the second
measurement (21% gVWC ±2.03) the best results gave 10a rods with only 1.2%
VWC deviation. In the third measurement (34.1% gVWC ±1.25) all rods gave lower
values than those determined by Gravimetric method. 10a rods deviated for 1.8%
VWC and 10b 2.8% VWC and 20a 2% VWC. 20a rods showed big standard deviation
±1.61. Both 10a and 10b gave good results for the fourth measurement (42.6% gVWC
±0.45). 10a deviated for 0.7% VWC and 10b for 1.7% (Table 2).
