DO METER
In stock
A Dissolved Oxygen (DO) meter is a vital agricultural tool that measures the amount of gaseous oxygen trapped in water. In farming, it ensures irrigation water, hydroponic solutions, and aquaculture ponds have optimal oxygen levels to maximize crop yields, support root health, and maintain the safety of aquatic life.

Specs & features.
A DO meter consists of a handheld or benchtop digital display connected to an advanced oxygen sensor. The sensor—typically electrochemical (Clark-type) or optical (luminescent)—detects the concentration of free O₂ in liquids, usually measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm). It provides quick, on-site readings so farmers can prevent water quality issues before they damage crops or aquatic ecosystems.

- Irrigation & Soil Health: Root respiration requires healthy oxygen levels. Monitoring DO prevents hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) in poorly drained soils or over-irrigated fields, promoting better nutrient uptake and healthier, stress-free plants.
- Hydroponics & Greenhouses: Greenhouse crops require higher dissolved oxygen levels in nutrient solutions. Farmers use these meters to ensure water is adequately oxygenated, maximizing plant growth and yield.
- Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Because oxygen solubility changes with temperature, the meter automatically adjusts readings based on the water's temperature.
