Delta-T Devices Ltd. articles

Delta-T Devices is providing soil sensors and data loggers to the British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) for use in important drought and water deficit research projects.

On average, 59% of UK sugar beet is grown on sandy or sand-based soils, making the crop particularly vulnerable to drought and water deficit.

Data from British Sugar* shows that yield losses due to water deficit average 10% annually, rising to 25% in the driest years &nd

Matt Pitt of Cranfield University has a deep interest in modelling hydraulic data and is part-way through a fascinating PhD project centred on the ways in which various tillage regimes affect the long-term properties of soil.

“My research aims to assess if non-inversion tillage practices improve water transport in soil during and near saturation – where percolation leads to recharge” explains Matt. “Such improvements (if found) may aid water movement during rai

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Kew) houses the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world, and their research staff’s scientific mission is to fully develop the information about, and potential uses of, plants and fungi.

A recent research project has seen Kew’s Dr Caspar Chater (Senior Research Leader) and colleagues use Delta-T Devices’s AP4 Porometer to explore the stomatal responses of two drought-tolerant Soybean lines.

Founded in 2021 in Comiso, Italy, Lualtek have fast become a successful solution provider for growers looking to employ the latest technology to achieve optimal crop yield and quality.

They help to achieve this by offering a complete plug-and-play monitoring package – integrating sensors, wireless networks, and AI technology.

Rothamsted Research is the longest-running agricultural research institute in the world, with a history dating back to the middle of the 19th century.

Sir John Bennet Lawes, an archetypal Victorian scientist, entrepreneur and benefactor, became interested in agricultural science after leaving Oxford University. On assuming responsibility for the family estate at Rothamsted (Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK), Lawes started several small-scale experiments involving inorga

The Quinta de Sao Pedro Field Study Centre in Portugal is visited by many of Europe’s leading Universities.

A Delta-T Devices weather station system – complete with soil moisture monitoring and solar radiation analysis provides reference data for the Centre, and is linked to the DeltaLINK-Cloud platform for immediate remote data access.

Abstract
This poster presents the innovative Script Editor and Simulator features of DeltaLINK 3.0 software. This powerful new Script Editor function gives the user an accessible way to create and evaluate sophisticated mathematical functions and models that can be applied in real-time to the measurement data collected by the GP2 - providing useful outputs from the combination of different types of measurements and/or multiple sensors.  Potential applications are nu

Delta-T Devices has created a new 5 minute animated explainer video introducing the AP4 Leaf Porometer. It highlights the porometer’s unique design features and shows how it enables users to take fast, convenient and accurate measurements of stomatal conductance in leaves.

The video explores the strong ergonomic benefits of the AP4 (including a strap-to-the-body design – which frees up both of the user’s hands) and also explains in detail the internal workings of the

Recent Activities in Soil Physics
The CEPHaS project is a joint undertaking between colleagues in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and the UK to strengthen our shared capacity to study how conservation agriculture practices affect the behaviour of water in soil, crop and groundwater systems. Key to this is the use of new methods to study soil water, both in the field and the laboratory.

The University of Zambia’s CEPHaS experiment is a new trial established at t

Two notable new research papers have been added to the fast growing SPN1 Sunshine Pyranometer online resource centre.

The SPN1 Resource Centre is designed to help visitors fully understand the workings and benefits of the SPN1 (including calculation of DNI), and to provide access to the latest SPN1-related research trials and academic papers.

The new papers are titled SPN1
