• MicroRhizon and Soil Rhizon Water samplers can extract (very) small volumes of pore water from soil and sediments, in an easy, non-destructive, repeatable way. They can be used for sampling water from unsaturated soils as well as from saturated zones and the extract can be used for the measurement of dissolved compounds such as nutrients, organic carbon, exudates, pollutants.
• In addition, specialised Rhizon Irrigators for Soil Water Manipulation ex situ can be used for irrigation experiments. Thus, Rhizon Samplers in their various forms are a perfect match to the VSI Rhizoboxes and are made to be used with Rhizonboxes - allowing innovative R&D projects.

Vienna Scientific is an official distributor for SENTEK - Australian manufacturer and world leading experts for soil moisture and salinity monitoring equipment with decades of experience. Established in the early 1990s, the EnviroSCAN sensors of Sentek were developed in response to grower and consultant demand for a near continuous soil moisture monitoring solution. Sentek now is a world leader in providing sensors and solutions for precision measurement and management of soil water and salinity dynamics. Sentek specialises particularly in bluetooth soil moisture & temperature probes, telemetry and data transfer, irrigation decision aiding software and complete solutions.
