THE CONCEPT Using a state of the art innovative phytomonitoring system we continually monitor physiological parameters of the plants. The data is then transmitted via wireless modem to a web server and to the growerÂ’s computer. Graphic software presents the information in a clear and easy to use way to the user. Decisions regarding irrigation regimes and growing strategy can then be straightforwardly made. THE HARDWARE The Phytalk system combines proprietary smart sensors with automated data collection system, wireless data transmission and state of the art unique software. The sensors are divided to: A. Plant sensors: Stem Diameter, Trunk Diameter, Fruit Growth, Stem Flux, Sap Flow Rate and Leaf Temperature. B. Environmental Sensors: Soil Moisture, Wind Velocity, Total Irradiance, Air Temperature & Humidity. All the smart sensors come with internal data loggers build in software including auto calibration and a battery with ca. one year life time. Up to 64 sensors can be allocated around a concentration unit in a distance of up to 600 meters. The concentration unit comes with an optional solar panel and a GSM modem. Thus, the data is transmitted via wireless public network to the users PC and/or to the Web. Once in the Web the data can be downloaded and/or analyzed any were in the world using the Phytograph software.
THE SOFTWARE The Phytograph software was developed by Phytech engineers to enable easy data access and innovative data analysis including various graphic displays. The data from each sensor can be presented individually or with any combination with other sensors or external data imported from other software such as Microsoft Excel. Using the internet the data can be viewed and analyzed by any user which have the Phytograph software or other software after simple data conversion.
