The SeeedStudio Industrial Leaf Wetness & Temperature Sensor w/ Waterproof Aviation Connector is designed to simulate the wetness and temperature of a real leaf, providing critical data for optimal plant and crop management. This sensor is particularly beneficial for applications in agriculture, including outdoor farming, greenhouse environments, and plant research, where monitoring leaf wetness and temperature is crucial.
The sensor features a compact, highly integrated design that combines leaf wetness and temperature measurement capabilities. It supports the MODBUS-RTU RS485 output interface and mimics the thermal resistance of a real leaf, ensuring accurate simulation of natural conditions. Its robust industrial-grade construction is IP68 rated, making it waterproof and dustproof, suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
Leaf wetness is a vital parameter for assessing the risk of pathogen infection on leaves, as moisture facilitates the spread of fungal and bacterial diseases. By measuring the presence and duration of moisture and temperature on leaf surfaces, the sensor provides valuable insights for irrigation management, pest control, and disease prevention. This data enables farmers to make informed decisions to enhance plant health and crop yield.
The sensor's design allows it to detect water, ice, and foggy conditions, making it a versatile tool for smart agriculture, horticulture, and forestry management. Its resin-sealed plastic body ensures durability for long-term monitoring, even in challenging outdoor environments.
