Soil Moisture Probe Sensor
Scientific-grade and cost-effective soil moisture probe that measures the volumetric water content and soil temperature over multiple depths using a single probe. It can be deployed in sensitive agriculture zones to enable full control of irrigation, increase water-use efficiency and provide an understanding of water movement throughout the soil.
The sleek, lightweight design installs quickly using a pilot rod and slide hammer tool with minimal soil disruption. Our soil probe design eliminates the cumbersome excavation that is required when installing other profiling probes. GroPoint Profile is designed for vertical installation to make continuous soil moisture and soil temperature measurements over multiple soil layers.
Electronic Chlorophyll Content Meter
The measurement of the chlorophyll content is made with the living plant without damaging it and quickly. This instrument allows monitoring the nutritional status of the plant during its development, not only between one crop and another.
The chlorophyll content in the leaves of the plant is proportional to the amount of nitrogen it has absorbed. Thus, with chlorophyll measurement it is possible to know areas of cultivation that are deficient in nitrogen and to correct fertilization. Or, you can know where the nitrogen levels are already satisfactory and avoid unnecessary waste of fertilizer.
Electronic Soil Compaction
Electronic Soil Compaction Measurer, is equipment for precision agriculture and allows the obtaining of precise numerical data related to the compaction of the different soil layers. Excessive compaction of the soil reduces its capacity for water absorption
And aeration, limiting the development of the root system of the plants, thus restricting its ability to absorb nutrients and water. Compaction is also a possible cause of root diseases in plants, especially under unfavorable climatic conditions.
Chlorophyll Fluorometer
Portable cuvette system for analyzing the photosynthetic activity of a wide variety of phytoplankton samples. The light weight instrument offers a wide range of applications thanks to its large sensitivity spectrum, the ability to easily switch between red or blue light mode (measuring light and actinic light) and a variety of accessories such as a flow-through cuvette. instruments is the differential analysis of algal content, providing a tool to determine the composition of algae populations with respect to three algae groups (green algae, cyanobacteria and brown algae), based on differences in the F-spectrum of these algal groups.
Assessment of plant photosynthesis (CO2-uptake) or respiration (CO2-release) and transpiration – also in combination with optical measurements.
Gas exchange measurements rely on the basic principle that changes in CO2 and H2O concentrations are determined when air passes through a climate controlled chamber containing a plant sample. All environmental parameters relevant for plant photosynthesis (CO2, H2O, temperature, light, ventilation and flow) can be controlled automatically and over the full physiological range.
Optional fluorescence modules further expand the system’s capability. Experimental protocols for automatic light-curves or automatic CO2-curves can be easily programmed.
Plant Canopy Analyzer
Light weight, battery powered instrument for fat and easily Repeatable measurement of Leaf Area Index (LAI) from Solar Radiation ( PAR) , The instrument has been designed by scientists and engineers to provide instant readouts that can be exported to computer .Unlike in other similar instruments measuring LAI, our instrument is accurate in most daylight conditions and does not require cloud cover or specific sun angle for its proper performance. ALAI irradiance is an irradiance of the blue part of visible spectrum and can be measured with LAI sensors, which is placed on a side of the instrument. The LAI sensors is covered with black restriction cup. PAR can be measured with PAR sensor which is placed in the middle of the front side of the Instruments.
Standalone Soil CO2 Flux Sensor
The stand-alone soil CO2 flux sensor, containing a single NDIR sensor, an internal datalogger and small diaphragm pump. The instrument uses Forced Diffusion technology to measure soil CO2 flux directly. Traditionally, gas fluxes from the soil surface are measured using closed chamber systems, with these “accumulation chambers” trapping gas during the measurement period. CO2 concentrations continue to increase while the chamber is down, and different mathematical fits (typically linear or exponential) are applied to this data in order to indirectly estimate the original rate of flux.
