Electrical engineer Dr Dave Rankin has developed an innovative system to monitor horticultural crops using a wireless mesh network that delivers climatic information to growers using a robust and simple technology. Early accurate information is vital for effective intervention, in, for example, watering management and frost-damage limitation. This case study looks at the development of the system and its trialling at three vineyards and a kiwifruit orchard. |
