With the Wilhelmy Plate method, a vertical plate is attached to the balance and the force generated due to wetting of the plate is measured. Surface tension measuring instruments include tensiometers, ...

Surface Energy / Tension Surface tension instruments measure a fluid’s surface tension or energy, a tangential force that keeps a fluid together at the air/fluid interface. Lower surface energy ...

If there’s not enough water, plants dry up and die, but too much can prevent plants from getting enough oxygen, which would also kill the plants. Farmers use tools, such as tensiometers, to monitor ...

But if your trees show signs of rot, reduce their soaking — the diseased roots will have a harder time absorbing the water, worsening their decay. To plan better, install tensiometers and consult the ...
