Lysimeter Meter
A lysimeter is a device used in environmental and agricultural research to measure the amount
of water that percolates through soil and the quantity of nutrients or chemicals that are
leached from the soil. It's often employed to study soil-water-plant relationships, particularly
how water is absorbed, retained, and lost from soil under natural conditions.
container filled with soil in which plants can grow. The container is designed to catch water that
drains through the soil, allowing researchers to analyze the water for chemical content, such as
nutrients or pesticides. This helps in understanding the impact of agricultural practices on water
quality and soil health.
