neutron moisture meter (neutron soil moisture probe) An instrument which uses high-energy (fast) neutrons to detect indirectly the water content of a soil. The fast neutrons are moderated to slow neutrons by the hydrogen atoms in the soil moisture. By measuring the density of the slow neutron backscatter, an indication is obtained of how much water is present.
