PHYTOS-31 Leaf Wetness Sensors

The PHYTOS 31 lets you know leaf wetness in no uncertain terms. It measures both the onset and duration of wetness on a simulated leaf, which in turn predicts when the onset of certain diseases or infections may occur.

The PHYTOS 31 lets you know leaf wetness in no uncertain terms. It measures both the onset and duration of wetness on a simulated leaf, which in turn predicts when the onset of certain diseases or infections may occur. It’s not only a more accurate instrument, it’s also the easiest to set up, making it a simple and straightforward solution to several problems.

FEATURES
  • Accurate
  • Easy to use
  • Detect leaf wetness and ice formation
  • Sensitivity without false positives
  • Mimics a real leaf, so moisture will condense/evaporate as it would on a normal leaf
  • Plug and play capability
  • Use with the EM60G data logger for remote data collection
  • No need to create thresholds when used with the EM60G data logger
