Model SD-5P & SD-6P -Stem Micro-Variation Sensors
SD-type sensor is a highly precise incremental LVDT-based sensor for monitoring micro-variations of stem diameter in micron range. Plant growth and water balance affect diurnal behavior of stem diameter. The growth rate depends on a vegetation stage and environmental conditions. The diurnal variations represent mostly fluctuations of water content in plants. Two diameter-based indices are commonly used for evaluating plant water status: daily contraction amplitude and trend of daily maxima. The SD-type sensor allows investigating effects of irrigation rate and other environmental factors on water balance and growth of plants.
