Decagon's new Leaf Wetness Sensor enables accurate and affordable leaf wetness monitoring. Many fungal and bacterial diseases affect plants only when moisture is present on a leaf surface. The Leaf Wetness Sensor determines the presence and duration of wetness on a leaf's surface, enabling researchers and producers to forecast disease and protect plant canopies.
Applications
Disease forecasting and modeling
Canopy treatment scheduling
Ecological and agricultural research
