An electrometric method for determining soil moisture, based on the reduction of the specific resistance of propan-2-ol that occurs on addition of moisture to it, is described. The soil sample is shaken with pure propan-2-ol and from the fall in the specific resistance of the filtered extract the percentage of moisture in the soil is read off.
