For optimum irrigation in the greenhouse, you really need to know what’s happening in the root zone. The wireless CARA MET sensor of SenseNL offers you this insight. It takes better, more accurate and more reliable measurements inside the substrate slab and therefore allows growers to perfect their water management and achieve much higher production and quality.
Exactly what happens in a plant’s root zone is still a mystery to many people. But it’s essential for a grower to know what’s going on in the substrate or soil. Having detailed and reliable data about moisture content, EC and temperature makes it possible to optimise the irrigation and fertigation strategy and raise the standard of the crop. The CARA MET sensor of SenseNL is suitable for all substrates and gives growers a better, more accurate and more reliable insight into the root zone. Because to measure is to know. But to measure accurately is to really know.
The sensors are guaranteed to be reliable, thanks to cutting-edge, advanced technology and also the way they’re used in practice. SenseNL recommends using multiple wireless sensors per hectare, to ensure accurate results. The CARA MET sensor is therefore sold in sets of ten, providing highly detailed data per hectare and hence clear insight into the moisture content, EC and temperature inside the substrate slabs, cubes or soil.
This information not only allows hightech growers more precise control over irrigating the crop, but also improves the reliability accuracy of algorithms such as harvest forecasting, so that the data from the wireless CARA MET sensor can result in more accurate forecasts. The developments in the area of autonomous growing in international horticulture make this immensely valuable, as already demonstrated by Wageningen University’s latest Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge.
