Thermocrop

Thermocrop by Sencrop is a mobile hygrometer and thermometer sensor designed to be placed directly within the crop canopy to monitor microclimate conditions and anticipate frost risks.

Monitoring temperature and humidity from a distant, regional weather station provides an incomplete picture of the actual conditions experienced by the plants. Microclimates exist within the crop canopy or under cover, where subtle drops in temperature can trigger sudden frost damage, destroying yields overnight. Thermocrop resolves this by bringing the measurement to the heart of the vegetation. This mobile device measures dry and wet temperatures, hygrometry, and the precise dew point, sending this critical microclimate data directly to the Sencrop application in real-time.

Why use it?

Deploying a canopy-level hygrometer enables farmers to proactively protect their crops from environmental damage. By monitoring exact temperatures and dew points within the vegetation, managers can accurately anticipate the risk of frost and activate their frost control systems (like wind machines or heaters) at the correct time, preventing crop loss and saving energy. The device is also suitable for monitoring the specific weather conditions of crops grown under cover, such as in greenhouses or polytunnels. By viewing live readings and historical logs on the Sencrop app, farmers can plan their agronomic actions effectively.

Key Features

• Measure Canopy Microclimates
  Designed to be placed directly in the heart of the vegetation to measure the specific microclimate experienced by the crop.

• Monitor Critical Temperatures
  Records precise dry and wet temperatures, providing accurate data to support targeted agricultural decision-making.

• Track Hygrometry and Dew Point
  Measures exact humidity levels and calculates the dew point, which is critical for understanding frost and disease risks.

• Anticipate Frost Risks
  Provides real-time data to help farmers anticipate sudden frost events and activate control systems at the right time.

• Access Live Readings
  Transmits data directly to the Sencrop app, allowing users to view live readings and historical logs remotely.

Who is it for?

This mobile hygrometer and thermometer is designed for commercial farmers, orchard managers, and operators growing crops under cover, primarily in Europe.
