Leaf and bud temperature approximations measured with an Apogee SF-110 compared to air temperature (top
panel) and wind speed (bottom panel) on the evening of April 28, 2012. Leaf and bud temperatures were both
below air temperature after 8 P.M. and reached freezing 6 (leaf) and 4 (bud) hours before the air temperature.
Leaf and Bud Temperature Sensor -SF 110
Features
- Wide Range, Accurate Measurements: Thermistor accuracy is ± 0.1 C across a range of 0 to 70 C, providing accurate measurements at temperatures near zero where frost damage is likely to occur.
- Output Options: Analog and digital output options include an unamplified voltage output or SDI-12
communication protocol. - Typical Applications : Applications include leaf and bud temperature estimates in cropped fields, orchards, and vineyards. Leaf and bud temperatures returned by the detector can then be used to alert
growers to the potential of frost damage to crops.
