Leaf wetness sensor
Sensore LWS-PLUS 02
Leaf wetness and dripping sensor
LWS-PLUSM is a capacitive-type sensor for measuring leaf wetness. It also measures leaf temperature and, through an innovative patented system, is the only sensor that can detect the “dripping” of water from the leaf. It is also integrated on the back with an air temperature and relative humidity sensor, providing the most complete solution for the microclimate inside the canopy.
Foliar wetness is a very important factor enabling the development of fungal diseases, such as grapevine downy mildew. Drip can become an important means of transmission of infections leading to the epidemic outbreak. The drip measurement also allows better modeling of plant protection product runoff.
The sensor is supplied with the WStations to measure the wetness outside the canopy. The use of an additional sensor to be placed inside the vegetation is recommended for measuring the microclimate inside the canopy. The sensor is resistant to phytosanitary treatments.
New hardware with internal electrodes, allows for increased durability and measurement sensitivity.
Connectable to any WStation or Irri-Box type station, for outside or inside canopy use, or for use at the ground surface.
Compatible with Aurora Web software.
Provides the following measurements:
- leaf wetness (% area covered by water); the signal can be transformed into wetting time based on a min. % threshold.
- dripping (peak % associated with the drip event)
- leaf temperature (°C)
- air temperature (°C) and Relative Humidity (%), unscreened
