Sensors generally used in outdoor agriculture

Temperature sensors: Measure air and soil temperatures to regulate the growing conditions of plants.

Humidity sensors: measure air and soil humidity to regulate the plant's water supply.

Light sensors: measure sunlight intensity and photoperiod in order to regulate the growth rhythm of plants.

Wind speed sensor: Measures wind speed and direction to regulate the growing conditions of the plants.

Rain sensor: measures the amount of rainfall in order to regulate the plant's water supply.

Soil EC sensors: measure the electrical conductivity of the soil in order to regulate the fertiliser supply to the plants.

These sensors help farmers and farm managers to monitor the environment in the public sector to improve the quality and yield of crops while reducing the cost and waste of resources in agricultural production.
