Soil salinity calculations

We have amended the PACE Reference 9:3 "Monitoring Soil Salinity" so that you can use it to make your own calculations of soil electrical conductivity (EC) when using the Field Scout EC meter. The Reference already had a table that made these conversions for you, but if you want to do the calculations yourself, the equation now appears on the PACE Reference and also directly below:

Saturated paste EC (dS/m) = (Meter reading x 2.7) + 0.8
