The EMCON-Leaf Wetness Sensor is a capacitance-based device designed for continuous monitoring of leaf wetness, which plays a critical role in disease prediction for plants and crops. The sensor is built to be directly exposed to sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor agricultural applications. Its sensitive detection element is protected by a thin UV-coated layer, ensuring durability and reliable long-term operation even in harsh environmental conditions. By continuously measuring leaf wetness, the sensor provides valuable data on the dampness of the surrounding environment, which is a key factor in the growth of fungal and bacterial pathogens. This real-time information is crucial for farmers and agricultural specialists, as it helps prevent the spread of diseases by optimizing the timing of treatments. Typically integrated into Automated Weather Stations (AWS), the EMCON-Leaf Wetness Sensor is widely used for monitoring crop health and predicting potential fungal or bacterial infections, contributing to more effective disease management strategies and better crop yield protection.
