Portable analyzer

“Very impressed with its accuracy. For that reason alone it has been a good buy and I have no regrets.” Jenquip Pasture Probe customer. A scientifically-proven instrument developed from the original capacitance probe, the Jenquip Pasture Probe is the ideal tool for those looking to directly measure and record paddock dry matter, particularly in stalky growth and fodder crops which are difficult for other pasture measuring devices. Used primarily by consultants, farm advisors and researchers, the Pasture Probe is the benchmark for electronically collection of paddock dry matter data (kg DM/ha). All data is stored ready to be downloaded direct to a computer (download cable included) for processing and evaluation using the dedicated computer software package included with each Pasture Probe purchased. Unlike automated versions, each reading can be quickly checked visually on the Pasture Probe readout before accepting the result with a simple press of the ‘record’ button. This allows false readings to be ignored – fully automated models are appealing, but can be time consuming when paddock assessments have to be redone if false readings are collected. Unsuitable for use when crops are wet, the Pasture Probe is not the first choice for most farmers, whilst Rising Plate Pasture Meters are a better option for all-weather pasture measurement. A battery charger, computer download cable, comprehensive instruction book, dedicated software package and a specially designed belt/carry bag are included with each Pasture Probe.
