What It Is

Overview

Plant Scale-III weighs and monitors berries grown in single pots and bags.

Plant Scale-III brings substrate weighing down to a single pot or bag. The pot sits on a ribbed drainage tray on adjustable feet, and the housing beside it measures every feed and every drainage event: volume, EC and pH. The result is a continuous record of how much each plant drinks and how much runs to waste, without collecting leachate by hand.

The same software as the larger Plant Scale models shows the data as curves and dashboards. OXYGRO rates Plant Scale-III at the same gains: +30% water and fertiliser efficiency, +20% labour efficiency and +10% yield and quality.

Who It Is ForBerry growers cultivating in pots and bags who want to stop collecting leachate by hand and monitor many points across a large site.

Features

  • Weighing and drainage detection share one structure and add minimal crop height.
  • It measures feed and drainage volume (single and cumulative), drainage EC and pH, drainage ratio, weight-loss ratio and VPD.
  • It combines air temperature/humidity, CO₂, solar radiation, PAR and leaf-temperature data with crop status.
  • It removes manual leachate collection and testing, and can be deployed at many points across a large site.
  • The software shows custom date-range curves and a visual dashboard on computer, mobile and iPad.
