The salinity of soil is measured by
A
Electrical Conductivity Meter
B
Hygrometer
C
Psychrometer
D
Scaler
Correct Answer: Electrical Conductivity Meter
The salinity of soil is measured by Electrical Conductivity Meter. Water and soil salinity are measured by passing an electric current between the two electrodes of a salinity meter in a sample of soil or water. The electrical conductivity or EC of a soil or water sample is influenced by the concentration and composition of dissolved salts.
