sense@datasense.fiDescription
Leaf Wetness Sensor is designed to simulate the thermal and moisture behavior of a real plant leaf.
It continuously measures leaf surface wetness (%) and leaf temperature (°C), enabling accurate assessment of dew formation, condensation events, and potential fungal disease conditions.
Encapsulated in durable epoxy resin and rated IP68, the sensor withstands continuous outdoor exposure in all climates.
Its compact, low-maintenance design makes it ideal for field studies, greenhouse environments, and long-term environmental monitoring networks.
The sensor integrates seamlessly with FluxScout weather and soil monitoring systems, providing high-resolution data for research on canopy processes, plant stress, and water–energy balance.
