PLUG & SENSE – SMART AGRICULTURE

The Smart Agriculture models allow to monitor multiple environmental parameters involving a wide range of applications. It has been provided with sensors for air and soil temperature and humidity, solar visible radiation, wind speed and direction, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, etc. Sectors of agriculture such as Vineyards, cocoa, tobacco, strawberries, bananas, kiwis, olives, baby leaves, corn etc also have been monitored by Libelium’s Smart Agriculture IoT Platform. Improving agricultural productivity requires investment in smart IoT technologies with more accurate sensors. This allows agriculture producers to obtain data for better controlling crop growth, preventing losses caused by adverse weather conditions or infectious pests.

The enhanced Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture device includes top market performance sensors for the most exigent field applications such as vineyards, fruit orchards and greenhouse cultivations, among others. It features 19 sensors from the most prestigious and reliable manufacturers of agricultural technology such as Apogee, Decagon, Ecomatik and Gill Instruments.

This integration enables the measuring of different parameters involving a wide range of applications.

Weather conditions
Light and radiation levels
Soil morphology
Fertilizers presence
Frost prevention
Improve crop quality production and prevent harvest losses by monitoring daily growth of plants and fruits
Air and soil temperature and humidity
Wind speed and direction
Rainfall
Atmospheric pressure
Soil moisture
Plant Leaf wetness, Stem diameter
Anemometer, Wind vane, Pluviometer, Ambient temperature

The Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture sensor includes a more reliable weather station to measure the wind and precipitations via optical technology. It also features a complete set of light and radiation sensors such as ultraviolet radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and shortwave radiation.The soil morphology and the presence of fertilizers can be analyzed by measuring electrical conductivity, volumetric water content, soil water potentials and oxygen levels.To prevent frost, the device allows customers to connect a special sensor to measure non-contact plants and fruits surface temperature. And for daily growth monitoring, there are a set of dendrometers to control the growing of the trunk, the stem and the fruit of the plant.

Some of the Smart Agriculture sensor applications are :

Golf Courses

Selective irrigation in dry zones to reduce the water resources required in the green.

Meteorological Station Network

Study of weather conditions in fields to forecast ice formation, rain, drought, snow or wind changes.

Wine Quality Enhancing

Monitoring soil moisture and trunk diameter in vineyards to control the amount of sugar in grapes and grapevine health.

Green Houses

Control micro-climate conditions to maximize the production of fruits and vegetables and its quality.

Compost

Control of humidity and temperature levels in alfalfa, hay, straw, etc. to prevent fungus and other microbial contaminants. With the Smart Agriculture PRO
