³Read manually from a frost tube.

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.
