PT Sensor
Take precise plant temperature readings with our infra-red PT sensor
HortiMaX’s plant temperature sensor allows you to accurately measure the temperature of your plants. The PT sensor measures the temperature of a representative number of plants in an area of 5 to 10m2. Since the plant temperature tends to differ significantly from the air temperature, the PT sensor helps you to monitor and control your crop’s development. It does this by measuring the temperature at the top of the crop, which plays a key role in the crop’s growth rate. Precise plant temperature readings enable you to control the glasshouse climate more effectively. If the incoming or outgoing radiation is above a certain level, the PT sensor shows you if the crop temperature is either too high or too low.

Customer testimonial
'Plant temperature-based climate control easier than first thought'
Cucumber grower Pleun Struijk had plant temperature sensors installed in all of his glasshouse compartments. His aim was to prevent the ambient temperature rising too high in summer and to save energy in spring and winter. The plant temperature now determines 50% of his climate control strategy.
