An Enviroscan system (ES2) was used to collect soil moisture data on red earths of Douglas Daly, N.T. during the 94/95 season. The ES2 however, tended to underestimate real soil moisture levels when compared with, gravimetric and Neutron probe methods. The system was calibrated against these other methods to correct for this problem, and to make the ES2 data more useful.
