Complete Phyto-Monitoring System

Product catalog summary

Introduction to Phyto-Monitoring System:
The document introduces the Phyto-Monitoring System by STEP Systems GmbH, focusing on the importance of monitoring photosynthesis in crop production. Photosynthesis is crucial for optimizing crop yield and resource use, with key parameters including irrigation, fertilizer application, light intensity, CO2 concentration, and air temperature.

Photosynthesis Monitor Features:
The Photosynthesis Monitor offers continuous 24/7 monitoring of photosynthesis and other essential parameters such as net and gross photosynthesis, leaf transpiration, stomatal conductance, and environmental conditions like air temperature and humidity. It supports up to eight optional sensors for additional measurements like sap flow, soil moisture, and fruit growth.

Functionality and Data Utilization:
The system uses automatic self-clamping leaf chambers for minimal disturbance measurements. Data is collected and can be downloaded via USB for analysis using graphical data viewers or expert systems. The monitor aids in optimizing lighting, CO2 enrichment, temperature, and other factors affecting crop productivity.

Applications and Tasks:
For protected crops, tasks include optimizing lighting and CO2 levels, adjusting temperature, and comparing plant species productivity. For both protected and unprotected crops, it helps in irrigation scheduling, detecting water stress, and controlling fruit growth.

Technical Specifications:
The monitor includes four leaf chambers, measures CO2 concentration and transpiration, and has a built-in meter for environmental parameters. It supports wireless data transfer and is compatible with Windows software. The system is designed for robust environmental protection with an IP 55 rating.

Contact Information:
STEP Systems GmbH is located in Nuremberg, Germany, and provides contact details for further inquiries.

Phytomonitoring in Crop Growing Photosynthesis Monitor Is it only photosynthesis? Along with photosynthesis, the Monitor is monitoring simultaneously many other essential parameters: • Net photosynthesis, gross photosynthesis, photorespiration, dark respiration • Leaf transpiration • Stomatal conductance • Photosynthetically active radiation • Air temperature • Air humidity • Ambient CO2 concentration in the air • Atmospheric pressure • Leaf wetness • Leaf temperature In addition, simultaneous monitoring from up to eight (out of tens) optional sensors can be done. They include: Why to monitor...

Phytomonitoring in Crop Growing Photosynthesis Monitor Typical for both protected and unprotected crops tasks include: • Transpiration monitoring for correction of the daytime and nighttime irrigation schedule. • Simultaneous monitoring of CO2 and H2O exchange to How can the automatically collected data be used? The data are downloaded to a computer via USB wireless adaptor for further analysis. Then the data in CSV format can be analyzed by using provided graphical data viewer or any other relevant software. It can also be automatically interpreted, using an expert system or, for example, specialized...
