Soilless plantations

In soilless growing environments, maintaining precise environmental and root-zone conditions is critical for maximizing plant health, nutrient uptake, and overall productivity. Integrated sensor systems enable accurate monitoring and control across physical, chemical, and atmospheric parameters.

Sensing Metrics



Key Objectives for Monitoring Soilless Plantations in Agriculture 

Precision Moisture Management in Substrates
Moisture (scaled frequency), VWC, and soil moisture sensors provide real-time data to fine-tune irrigation, ensuring optimal water availability without over- or under-watering.

Salinity Control for Root Zone Health
Salinity sensors help track salt levels in nutrient solutions or substrate, protecting plants from salt stress, nutrient imbalance, and reduced growth performance.

Nutrient Optimization through Conductivity Monitoring
Bulk electrical conductivity sensors give insight into the concentration of dissolved nutrients, helping maintain ideal feeding conditions and minimizing nutrient waste or toxicity.

Leaf Wetness Monitoring for Disease Prevention
Leaf wetness sensors detect surface moisture, enabling growers to adjust humidity, airflow, or irrigation to reduce the risk of fungal and bacterial diseases.

Temperature Control for Growth and Metabolism
Both ambient and substrate (soil) temperature sensors help ensure ideal thermal conditions for root activity, plant metabolism, and nutrient absorption.

Atmospheric Monitoring for Optimal Growth Conditions
Humidity, barometric pressure, and CO₂ sensors allow fine-tuning of air composition and ventilation in enclosed or semi-enclosed grow spaces, enhancing photosynthesis and plant vitality.

Enhanced Climate and Irrigation Automation
Integrated sensor data supports intelligent control systems that automate climate, irrigation, and fertigation processes for consistent and high-quality plant growth.

Uniformity Across Growing Zones
Deploying sensors across trays or sections enables detection of localized issues, ensuring uniform growing conditions and minimizing variability across the plantation.

Support for Sustainable Soilless Production
Real-time monitoring helps reduce water, nutrient, and energy waste, supporting more sustainable and resource-efficient agricultural practices in controlled environments.
