A leaf-shaped sensor with RS485 communication for early detection of moisture on plants.
Key features
Tracks changes in the dielectric constant of a leaf-shaped surface.
Applications
Suited to crop protection and treatment planning.
What this product isThe sensor imitates the surface of a natural leaf and tracks changes in its dielectric constant. This lets it register dew, fog, precipitation and frost residue, and the RS485 version measures temperature at the same time.
The technical values apply to the selected RS485 version for integration with the AGRO VEDA station.
