PAR meter: High-precision PAR meter and light tester

Description

The PAR meter (also called PAR Quantum meter or PAR light meter) of FieldScout is an advanced tool designed to accurately measure the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), with it you can consult the amount of light used by plants for growth.in the range 400 to 700 nm. This device is essential for agriculture and greenkeeping professionals looking to optimise lighting conditions. for optimal plant growth.

PAR meter functionality

The PAR meter allows a highly accurate assessment of the amount of light available for photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is essential for photosynthesis, and its correct measurement ensures that plants receive the light necessary for optimal growth.

Applications of the PAR light meter

• Golf courses and sports surfaces: Precise light management in green areas.
• Greenhouses: Optimisation of light for crops under controlled conditions.
• Agricultural Research: Detailed studies on the impact of light on different types of crops.
• Horticulture: Improvement of productivity and quality of ornamental and edible plants.

Benefits of the PAR Quantum meter

1. High Precision: Accurate data on PAR light received by plants.
2. Robustness and Durability: Robust construction for outdoor use.
3. Portability: Compact and lightweight design.
4. USB interface: Facilitates data transfer and battery recharging.
5. Ease of Use: Intuitive display and simple controls.

Importance of PAR Measurement

Measuring photosynthetically active radiation is crucial for optimising lighting conditions in any crop. PAR represents the fraction of the solar spectrum that plants use for photosynthesis, and its correct measurement allows you to adjust artificial or natural lighting to maximise photosynthetic efficiency.

James E. Faust, Associate Professor of Horticulture at Clemson University, notes:

"Measuring DLI inside a greenhouse can be very revealing as growers often rely on their eyes to determine light levels. The human eye is not an effective light sensor for adjusting different shades of light."

Compatibility and Accessories

For a complete assessment of daily light intensity (DLI), consider the use of the light meter DLI 100which provides continuous light measurement 24 hours a day.

Included accessories of this quantum light put:

• Carrying case
• USB cable
• User manual
