1Daily maximum and minimum 4 inch soil temperatures since midnight.
2Soil moisture is measured in centibars(cb).
Note: When the soil moisture sensor is frozen,
it will read approximately 200 cb.
3Read manually from a frost tube.
4The grass Minimum Temperature is the lowest temperature recorded since midnight in open air on short turf, with the thermometer just in contact with the tips of the blades of grass. It is also described as the temperature at 5cm (2in) above ground.
| Centibar Reading | Soil Condition |
| 0-10 | Saturated Soil (field capacity). |
| 10-20 | Soil is adequately wet (except coarse sands which are drying out at this range) |
| 30-60 | Usual range to irrigate or water (except heavy clay soils). Irrigate at the upper end of this range in cool humid climates and with higher water-holding capacity soils. |
| 60-100 | Usual range for irrigation in heavy clay soils |
| 100-200 | Soil is becoming dangerously dry for maximum production. |
