Read MoreAgTech: Crop Irrigation by Using Leafmon Technology
LeafMon allows growers to base irrigation decisions on a measure of plant hydration. Traditionally, growers irrigated on a schedule. More recently soil moisture sensors have enabled growers to irrigate only when the ground is dry. Now, LeafMon technology collects and analyzes new sensor data growers can use to base irrigation decisions on plant conditions. This technology will substantially reduce water use and permit the grower to maintain their plants in near ideal conditions that maximize crop quality and yield. LeafMon has been designed with the ultimate goal of empowering farmers to manage irrigation on a plant by plant basis for the most economic use of their available water resource.AquaMon Leaf Monitor used in LeafMon Technology that Replaces Pressure Bomb for Measuring Modified Crop Water Stress Index. LeafMon calculates the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) using a set of formulas on environmental variables.
Combining LeafMon with the Cermetek’s AquaMon Internet agricultural water management and control system provides grower access to the plant health information on the company’s web server from any tablet, laptop, or smartphone.
Advantages of using LeafMon technology:
- Leaf under test remains live on the tree
- Leaf sensor mounts harmlessly to tree branch
- Leaf sensor can be moved or removed at any time
- Eliminates trips to the field to test leaves
- Permits constant monitoring of crop stress
- Provides immediate results
