Problems solved by technology

However these findings lead to the fact that in known systems a large number of humidity sensors must be provided in order to monitor and control each and all herbaria
Therefore, high-throughput screening of large numbers of plants and / or growth conditions is extremely expensive and complex considering traditional techniques

Embodiment Construction

[0216] figure 1 A top view of a system 110 for monitoring growing conditions of a plurality of plant containers 112 is shown in . Each plant container 112 includes a growth medium 114 and at least one plant specimen 116 .

[0217] System 110 further comprises at least one transport system 118 , which may be designed to transport plant containers 112 in transport direction 120 . exist figure 1 with figure 2In the preferred embodiment shown in , the conveyor system 118 includes a conveyor belt 122 . However, other types of delivery systems 118 are additionally or alternatively possible. The delivery system 118 in this preferred embodiment can be designed as a closed loop system capable of repeatedly delivering all of the plant containers 112 to one or more locations, such as at figure 1 in clockwise direction.

[0218] Delivery system 118 may further include one or more delivery controllers 124, such as figure 1 is schematically shown in . At least one transport control...

Abstract

A system (110) for monitoring growth conditions of a plurality of plant containers (112) is disclosed. The system (110) has a transport system (118) for transporting the plant containers (112). Each plant container (112) comprises at least one growing medium (114) and preferably at least one plant specimen (116). The system (110) further comprises at least one measurement position (130) having at least one contactless capacitive humidity sensor (132). The system (110) is adapted to successively transport the plant containers (112) to and from the measurement position (130). The system (110) is further adapted to measure the humidity of the growing medium (114) of the plant containers (112) in the measurement position (130) by using the contactless capacitive humidity sensor (132).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring growing conditions of multiple plant containers. The invention further relates to a tracking method for tracking the growth conditions of a plurality of plant specimens.
