Nowadays, a farmer needs to know the temperature and humidity conditions before planting any seed. From simple handheld devices to sophisticated networks of sensors linked to centralized data collection systems, monitoring technology in agriculture has evolved significantly.
Take, for instance, the ice wine industry, where harvesting
occurs within a narrow temperature range of -10°C to -12°C during the
harvesting season. The integration of temperature sensors in a greenhouse
brings reliable harvest and lots of profit.
The first step in harnessing the power of soil sensors is
ensuring proper installation. Here are some essential techniques to follow
with Temperatur Sensoren:
·
Placement: Position sensors strategically in areas representative of your
crop's root zone. Ensure they are buried at the appropriate depth to measure
soil conditions accurately.
·
Calibration: Calibrate sensors according to manufacturer guidelines and
local soil conditions. Regular calibration of Relative Humidity Sensors ensures
accurate data collection and interpretation.
·
Connectivity: Ensure sensors are connected to a reliable data collection
system, whether it's a dedicated sensor network or an IoT platform. Shield
sensors from physical damage, extreme weather conditions, and exposure to
chemicals or fertilizers.
Getting the air temperature and humidity levels just right is
key to your farming success. In greenhouse cultivation, balancing these factors
with MESSmatik sensors is vital as they can affect plant
growth similarly. Plants are quite sensitive to their environment and need
specific air conditions, mainly for respiration. During plant respiration,
water evaporates through stomata on the leaves, which also regulate gas
exchange and moisture levels during photosynthesis.
