Operators see chlorophyll-a rise from 5 µg/L to 12 µg/L over 48 hours and act immediately—whether that means activating treatment, increasing monitoring frequency, or deploying source water controls. ...
In lakes and reservoirs, pH also signals biological activity: photosynthesis raises pH during daylight, while respiration lowers it at night. ...
Grape Powdery Mildew One of the most serious and persistent diseases that plagues grape growers on the West Coast is Grapevine powdery mildew (Erisiphe necator). It is a fungal disease that effects wine grape, table grape, and raisin vineyards. This disease has a very swift onset and if not controlled immediately can have devastating consequences to a vineyard in terms of severely reducing yields ...
How Algae Produce Oxygen Algae, like land plants, contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll pigments that absorb sunlight. Chloroplasts are found within plant cells and algal cells, and are responsible for photosynthesis. Algae, like green plants, use chlorophyll to capture sunlight and produce oxygen. During daylight hours, these microorganisms transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose for ...
Measuring equipment for water quality is becoming increasingly advanced. Some meters can be equipped with up to 13 different sensors. But is it always necessary to measure so many? Which parameters should you investigate in which situation? In this article we will examine various water problems and their corresponding parameters. When measuring water quality, it is first important to determine ...
The ThirdEye project supports farmers in Mozambique and Kenya with their decision making in farm and crop management by setting up a network of flying sensors operators. Our innovation is a major transformation in farmers’ decision making regarding the application of limited resources such as water, seeds, fertilizer and labor. Instead of relying on common-sense management, farmers are now ...
Introduction to weather instruments Our weather sensors provide accurate and reliable weather data for a wide range of applications. With advanced iot sensors and wireless connectivity, it provides the necessary information for weather forecasting, agricultural planning, outdoor safety, and research. Keep in touch with the weather station. Accurate weather forecasting plays a crucial role in ...
Unlike other bacteria, cyanobacteria can conduct oxygenic photosynthesis and contain Chlorophyll A, the predominant type of chlorophyll found in algae that absorbs light from the orange-red and violet-blue areas of the electromagnetic spectrum. ...

Summary: In the study of plant physiology, the determination of plant photosynthesis is one of the important research work. It is generally measured by measuring the value of illuminance and photosynthetically active radiation, and the measurement of illuminance and photosynthetically active radiation requires a light sensor and ...
Summary: With the development of intelligent agriculture in the Internet of things, many agricultural sensors appear in agricultural environmental monitoring, among which illumination sensor is a more important one.The sensor measures the intensity of light, which affects photosynthesis and, in turn, crop yields.In smart agricultural planting, the illumination sensor can detect the information of ...
PAR Sensor Photosynthetically active radiometer, also known as photon number, is mainly used to measure the photosynthetic active radiation of natural light in the wavelength range of 400-700nm. ...
The temperature of water defines growing seasons and dictates what species can survive in a particular body of water.Temperature plays an essential role in water chemistry and can affect biological characteristics of surface water, regulate the dissolved oxygen levels, disturb metabolic rates and photosynthesis production of aquatic organisms while influencing the rate of ...
In the new study, the research team shows how this region works in concert with other structures within the cell to activate the production of "wartime" proteins. The research shows that when plants detect pathogen attack, molecular markers that normally instruct ribosomes to land and read mRNA are removed, which prevents cells from making their typical "peacetime" proteins. ...
The global population is rapidly expanding, and new technologies are required to enable us to keep up with rising food demands. Vertical farms provides a secure supply of food year-round while using minimal space, water, and energy. Creating the perfect environment, and especially the perfect CO2 atmosphere, in vertical farms is essential for optimizing crop yields and farm economics. ...
Though they can tolerate wide ranges of temperatures, oysters are sensitive to variables such as salinity and dissolved oxygen. Photosynthesis (PAR) of plants and algae in the water are responsible for much of the water’s dissolved oxygen and are crucial to the survival of oysters. ...
The photosynthetically active radiation sensor adopts the photoelectric sensing principle and can be used to measure the photosynthetically active radiation in the spectral range of 400~700nm. ...

Abstract : Land Surface Phenology (LSP) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) are important variables that describe the photosynthetically active phase and capacity of vegetation. Both are derived on the global scale from optical satellite sensors and require robust validation based on in situ sensors at high temporal resolution. This study assesses the PAI Autonomous System from Transmittance Sensors at 57 ...

When we talk about plants and their interaction with light, we mostly talk about photosynthesis. But this is only a small part of the story, there are numerous other mechanisms controlled by light. ...
