Folium F2 Smart Sensor

Folium F2 by Autogrow is designed for greenhouse, tunnel house and indoor growers wanting richer climate data and a more comprehensive view of the climate variables across their entire growing area.

                        

FOLIUM F2 GATHER SIX SEPARATE READINGS FROM YOUR GROWING ENVIRONMENT INTO EACH UNIT:

• Temperature

• Relative Humidity

• CO2

• PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation)

• RAD (Solar Radiation)

• Barometric Pressure (BP)

• * plus additional sensors available

FOLIUM F2 GREENHOUSE MONITORING SYSTEM

What’s New in F2?

Folium F2 now comes with the most requested features from commercials growers.

Folium 2.0 accepts inputs from plant temperature sensors and moisture sensors (available from Autogrow). These sensors plug directly into the base of the unit to provide crucial information on plant temperature, transpiration rates and plant irrigation needs.

Actual VPD

Transpiration rates are crucial in understanding the needs of your plant. Using a plant temperature sensor Folium 2.0 can provide an actual value for Vapor Pressure Deficit to inform you about your plants transpiration rate.

Dew Point

Moisture on the leaf surface increases the risk of pathogens like powdery mildew and Botrytis. With Dew Point readings you can stay clear of climate conditions that lead to disease outbreaks.

Plant Temperature

Knowing your plant temperature helps you better understand the rate of photosynthesis and also the stress on your plants from their environment. Folium 2.0 now accepts a plant temperature sensor to collect and visualize that data. Plug the sensor into the base of the unit and you’re ready to go.

Soil/Substrate Moisture

Using real-time data helps you better manage irrigation and nutrient delivery to increase yield and quality. There’s no guesswork on which plants are being overwatered and which are in need. Watering schedules can be adjusted accordingly so you use less water and less power running pumps, both of which contribute to your costs.

BENEFITS

By having an affordable wireless smart sensor network from Autogrow, growers can now get multiple points of environmental data at scale to make more informed decisions about their crop.

Improve Profitability

• Saving on costs by pinpointing specific CO2 dosing needs more accurately, ensuring crop dosing only occurs when required
• Saving on costs and labor by whitewashing areas of the greenhouse more strategically
• Improving yield of crops by identifying when plastics on tunnel houses need to be replaced
• Improving the effectiveness of beneficial bugs by optimizing the microclimate monitoring of your plants.

Save on Labor Costs

• Removes the need for spot-checking areas of the crop due to increased data coverage of the greenhouse.

Folium F2 also provides specific solutions for different types of growers:

• Propagators: The ability to follow the crop to deliver crops on time and to specification
• Breeders: Reliable and scientific grade data density
• Vine crops (Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers): ability to have sensors vertically and horizontally which is key in analyzing microclimates and improving yield.
