How to use? Common to the DM-15!

1. If the soil to be tested is dry or contains much manure, the meter will indicate a correct pH value. Therefore, sprinkle about a bucketful of water on the soil, and wait for 20-30 minutes, before testing.
2. Before using the meter, be sure to thoroughly polish its metallic surface with a piece of whetting cloth. When using a brand-new meter, be sure to insert it into the soil a few times in order to remove the oily impurities from it's metallic surface.
3. Insert the meter directly into the field or paddy soil under consideration. Completely embed the metallic surface and tamp down the surrounding soil so that it adheres closely to the meter's metallic electrode surface.
4. About one minute after inserting the meter in the soil, the pointer will cease to deflect-the-pH value of the soil may then be read. Moisture content, or the pH reading. It is therefore ideal to take an advantage of several measurements.
5. The meter may sometime register different values depending on the soil condition, such as, adhesion to the meter's metallic surface moistur e content, or the pH level. It is therefore ideal to take an average of several measurements.
6. In order to determine whether or not liming has been properly done, after one or two weeks mix the soil well and measure its pH value.
