Climate monitoring for greenhouses

What needs to be monitored?

In horticulture and greenhouses, it is important to monitor a variety of factors in order to optimize the growing conditions for plants. These include, for example, the monitoring of

Temperature
Plants have different temperatures that are optimal for their growth. A temperature that is too high or too low can have a negative impact on plant growth.

Air humidity
Humidity that is too high or too low can affect the growth of plants. For example, humidity that is too high can make plants more susceptible to mold, while humidity that is too low can slow down growth.

Light intensity
Plants need light to grow and develop. Too little light intensity can slow down the growth of plants, while too much light intensity can cause damage to plants.

CO2 concentration
Plants need CO2 to grow. A CO2 concentration that is too low can slow down the growth of plants, while a CO2 concentration that is too high can cause damage to plants. Nutrient content of the soil: The nutrient content of the soil can influence the growth of plants. A lack of certain nutrients can slow down growth or even lead to the death of plants.

pH value of the soil
The pH value of the soil can influence the growth of plants. Plants have different pH ranges that are optimal for their growth. A pH value that is too high or too low can have a negative effect on plant growth.

These are just a few examples of factors that need to be monitored in horticulture and greenhouses to optimize the growing conditions for plants.

What is Controlled Environment Agriculture?

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) refers to the use of technologies and systems to control and optimize the growing conditions for plants in greenhouses, greenhouses or other protected environments. This can help increase crop yields and improve plant quality by ensuring the optimal combination of light, humidity, CO2 concentration and other factors.

  A Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) monitoring system is a system used to monitor and optimize growing conditions in greenhouses, greenhouses or other protected environments. Such systems often include sensors that measure various climate parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity and CO2 concentration.
  
  These sensors are usually connected to a central control system that collects and records the collected data. In this way, horticultural entrepreneurs can closely monitor the conditions in the greenhouse and, if necessary, make adjustments to optimize the growth of the plants. A CEA monitoring system can also include automated control features that make it possible to easily change the growing conditions in the greenhouse. For example, automated control systems can switch the ventilation or lighting in the greenhouse on and off to control humidity or light intensity.
  
  Overall, a CEA monitoring system helps to increase crop yields and improve plant quality by closely monitoring and, if necessary, adjusting the growing conditions in the greenhouse. It can also help to reduce energy consumption in the greenhouse by ensuring that climate control systems are not running unnecessarily
