Agriculture
Agriculture takes on many forms, from the home gardener to commercial greenhouses, though they all have a common thread; they sustain the world. An ever-growing population means demand for food has never been higher. Testing, monitoring and adjusting growth parameters helps to maximize efficiency, quality, and yield.
Greenhouse
Commercial greenhouses have a multitude of parameters to monitor: from light exposure, to intake water, to soil, fertilizer, and effluent waters, and then the finished product. With so many things to juggle, the last thing that is needed is for crop issues to pop up. Spot testing along with automatic regulation and adjustments can help to guarantee the perfect yield.
