Position sensors used to measure
strawberry plants
When ADAS started on a project to measure the effects of growing environments on the flavour quality of a strawberry, it used RDP's SensaGap range of non-contacting position sensors
How do you monitor water stress in a strawberry plant? This was one problem addressed by ADAS - the leading consultancy and research organisation to the land-based industries - when they started on a project to measure the effects of growing environments on the flavour quality of a strawberry One of the key criteria was to measure, on a minute-to-minute basis, the changes in water status of a plant
RDP had the solution with its SensaGap range of non-contacting position sensors.
SensaGap uses a capacitive measurement technique to measure small variations in the thickness of the strawberry runner, so there is no direct contact needed with the delicate fruit. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
In addition, SensaGap can be used in harsh conditions, even in the strawberry fields of the West Midlands!.
