Spatial variations in temperature and relative humidity within a greenhouse can be significant, often exceeding 10°C and dozens of percentage points in relative humidity. Assuming these parameters are uniform throughout the entire facility can easily lead to misleading conclusions.
To address this challenge, we offer the Atmos-14 atmospheric sensor. It connects to any controller throughout your greenhouse to provide precise, localized atmospheric data.
To help you identify the areas in your growing facility that experience the most extreme conditions relative to the average, ensuring you place your sensors in the most strategic spots, we recommend the following simple method:
Setup an experiment configuration, but place only the green reservoirs on the scales, without any pots, soil, or plants.
Fill all the reservoirs with the exact same amount of water.
Let these reservoirs sit undisturbed for one week.
Use the Weight measurement feature in the SPAC analytics software to generate an evaporation map of the greenhouse.
This map will pinpoint the microclimates and extreme positions within your growing facility, allowing you to deploy your Atmos-14 sensors in a much more effective and data-driven way.
