SDI-12 Sap Flow Sensor for the measurement of plant water use. The SDI-12 Sap Flow Sensor will bring the measurement functionality of the SFM1 and SFMx Sap Flow Meter to an SDI-12 compatible sensor for the measurement of plant water use.

The SFMx Sap Flow Meter is a powerful sap flow sensor for measuring tree and plant water use. Measuring the movement of water through the xylem within the sapwood area, sap flow measurement allows the quantification of the water requirements of the plant or tree.

ICT International have selected a range of sensors to be integrated with their IoT Nodes, allowing customisable soil moisture measurement solutions using LoRaWAN or Cellular (CAT-M1/NB-IoT) communication.

ICT International offer a range of band dendrometers for the measurement of tree and plant growth rates. Data can be stored internally, or the dendrometer can be connected to an external logger or integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) nodes for communication of data.

The DEN5 is capable of measuring Xylem and phloem tissue diameter and thickness fluctuations and is ideal for extracting information about vessel refilling and embolism repair of the xylem, and the phloem transport of water and sugar.

The DBM80 Manual Band Dendrometer is ideal for measuring tree growth over time, particularly in forestry research and management. With measurements in 0.1 mm increments, the manual dendrometer is a simple and reliable approach to tree growth.

Combining multiple sensors, these systems provide insights into plant growth (indicators) and the measurement of the influences (such as solar radiation or canopy temperatures).
