Greenhouse sensors
Why install sensors in your greenhouse:
Sensorization in greenhouses has become a fundamental tool for modern agriculture. This technology allows real-time data to be collected on various environmental and soil parameters, giving farmers an accurate and complete view of the status of their crops.
Importance of sensorization in greenhouses:

- Precise monitoring: Sensorization allows continuous, real-time monitoring of greenhouse conditions, such as temperature, humidity, luminosity, soil pH, electrical conductivity and nutrient concentration.
- Early detection of problems: Sensors can detect potential problems in the early stages, allowing farmers to take corrective action before they significantly affect crops.
- Making more precise decisions: The information collected by sensors allows farmers to make more precise and strategic decisions about greenhouse management, optimizing the use of resources and maximizing productivity.
Modern agriculture is characterized by the use of technology to optimize production processes and guarantee crop success. In this sense, greenhouses have become highly technological spaces, where sensors play a fundamental role in collecting crucial data for environmental control, monitoring the state of plants and making informed decisions.

- Climate sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, luminosity, rain, wind...
- Soil moisture sensors to determine the need for irrigation
- Sensors to measure the concentration of soil nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium...
- Tensiometer to measure the effort of the roots to obtain moisture
- Solar radiation to obtain data on the energy provided by the Sun
- pH of water to obtain values using electrodes
Benefits of installing sensors in a greenhouse
Sensorization allows tasks such as irrigation and ventilation to be automated, freeing up time for farmers to focus on other strategic activities. Furthermore, the information provided by the sensors makes it possible to optimize the use of water, fertilizers, energy and other inputs, resulting in significant cost savings.
