Durian, as a significant tropical cash crop, is beloved by consumers worldwide for its unique flavor. However, durian trees are highly demanding when it comes to their growing environment, with leaf temperature and humidity playing a critical role in their growth and fruit yield.
Durian trees thrive at an average annual temperature of 22°C to 30°C.
Durian trees have high water demands, requiring an annual rainfall of at least 2,000 mm.
By monitoring the temperature and humidity of the leaves over a long period to determine the growth condition of the plant。
Innovative Monitoring Solution: FDR-Based Leaf Moisture Monitoring
To gain deeper insights into the growth conditions of durian trees, we introduced an Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR)-based solution for monitoring leaf moisture and temperature.
Working Principle
The FDR sensor detects changes in the dielectric constant caused by liquid on the leaf surface, providing precise measurements of leaf moisture
