The Delta-T Devices ML3 ThetaKit makes it possible to rapidly check irrigation uniformity and turf characteristics.
Regular measurement of soil moisture content allows continual assessment of grass health, giving early warning of potential problems - and enabling preventative action before damaging physical change in the turf has occurred.
In the video below, soil scientist and Delta-T Devices technical specialist Dr John Newstead d
Our second video featuring Dr Mark Else (NIAB EMR’s Head of Crop Science) looks in detail at how the NIAB EMR research teams use the Delta-T Devices WET-2 and SM150T Sensors to monitor soil moisture, temperature and pore EC (electrical conductivity) within their WET Centre strawberry crops.
The SunScan Canopy Analysis System makes fast accurate measurements of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in plant canopies. It also calculates leaf area index (LAI) and provides direct display of fractional interception readings.
SunScan data provides valuable information about plant growth and biomass production, and is essential in work such as comparative crop studies – for separating out the effects of cultivar and treatment. The system is particul
Ed Potter, the founder of Cambridge-based high-tech co-op Delta-T Devices, is celebrating receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedication to the co-operative movement. He was presented with the prize as part of the annual Co-op of the Year Awards after being nominated and then handpicked by a judging panel.
Ed founded Delta-T Devices in 1971 and converted it to a co-op in 1981 so all its members could share in its running. The company develops new technolo
The WET Centre is an extensive research and demonstration facility that features a portfolio of innovative growing techniques and smart irrigation systems for the soft fruit sector. It showcases the latest solutions to improve water use efficiency and local water security, reduce costs and achieve industry leading yields and financial returns.
Delta-T Devices has been an industry partner of the WET Centre since its inception in 2017, and supplies sensors and da
Delta-T Devices’s well established and field-proven WinDIAS Leaf Image Analysis System has been improved for 2019. New enhancements include LED lighting, which has adjustable brightness, a more powerful Area of Interest drawing tool, and improved seed counting ability.
The WinDIAS Leaf Image Analysis System can rapidly measure multiple leaf parameters including size, perimeter, width, length, and the percentage of healthy and diseased leaf area. WinDIAS also enables the counting
A new version 3.7 of Delta-T Devices’s DeltaLINK Software, in combination with its GP2 Logger and relevant sensors, enables the full ASCE/FAO-56 Penman Monteith equation for calculating potential evapotranspiration (ET). This enhancement also applies to the WS-GP2 Weather Station – An advanced research-grade system.
ET is the sum of surface evaporation and
The latest release of Delta-T Devices’ DeltaLINK Software (v3.7), in combination with its GP2 Data Logger and relevant sensors, enables the full ASCE/FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation for calculating reference evapotranspiration (ETo).
This enhancement also applies to the WS-GP2 Weather Station
Delta-T Devices has released a new Soil Moisture Measurement Catalogue for 2018. It has been revised and expanded to include new sections on the SM150T Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor, SDI-12 PR2 Profile Probe, DeltaLINK-Cloud online data management, and SDI-12 capability for the GP2 Data Logger and Controller.
The new catalogue also features a number of “quick comparison” charts which guide users swiftly towards the best solution for their application.<
Delta-T Devices has revealed that their multi-parameter WET Sensor has been used by Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong-2 Space Lab.
Tiangong-2, whose name means “Heavenly Palace”, was launched on 15th Sept 2016, and is designed to allow Chinese scientists to test the life support technologies needed to create a permanently staffed Space Station by 2022.
Two Chinese astronauts (Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong) spent 30 days aboard the Space Lab carrying out numerous
