The SmartCrop® System has been used in many different environments across the U.S. and many countries around the world. The Standard SmartCrop® sensor measures continuous crop canopy temperature using an infrared thermometer and relays the information back to the Smartfield™ Base Station.
Research has shown canopy temperature to be a significant measurement of crop stress. If the temperature of the plant is above optimal temperature for an extended period of time, the metabolic processes become less efficient; the plant does not show as much growth, therefore, causing detriment to the yield.
Features:
- Uses infrared thermometer to measure plant canopy temperature
- 1,500′ radio frequency range
