The water potential meter gives an accurate picture of changes in developments in the crop.
Fluctuations in the water potential involve changes in the growth, protein, and photosynthesis. Plant water stress is influenced by 4 environmental conditions:
Soil moisture
Air humidity
Wind
Direct sunlight or heat load
Whereas most control systems only monitor one of these influences, the ARIMAD Pressure Chamber takes all four into consideration when taking a direct plant based measurement.
