Sensors

During our trials in the Bio4safe project, our researchers evaluated several plant and soil sensors. Sensors could help growers by translating plant language into easy comprehensible numbers. We made clear leaflets on each sensor, with information on what the sensor can tell you, how to use it, how much it costs and where to get it. You can find the leaflets below, in English (EN), Dutch (NL) and French (FR).
