As part of a project to plant young trees in the Munich city area, the Schernthaner company took on the irrigation work. The company usually carries out weekly irrigation with around 100 liters per tree during the summer months (based on FLL: Recommendations for Tree Planting Part 1). In collaboration with TreeSense, the irrigation was to be optimized this time. Through the use of sensors [...]

As a general rule, dry wood is a very poor conductor of electricity. Water, however, in which nutrients and salts are dissolved, conducts electricity very well. Pure (distilled) water is also a poor conductor. We make use of this relationship to examine the moisture content in the tree. The electrical resistance is measured between two electrically conductive screws [...].

The TreeSense Pulse Sensor series includes three different models: Pulse S, Pulse R and Pulse NB, each designed for different use cases and network environments. The main differences between these models are summarized below: Pulse S Network technology LoRaWAN with access to The Things Network (TTN) or other local LoRaWAN networks. Area of application Particularly suitable for rural or remote locations, [...]

TreeSense Pulse technology provides an advanced method of monitoring the water balance of trees by measuring resistance, temperature, battery status and optionally solar energy. Correct interpretation of this data is critical to understanding tree health and effective water management. Data and decoder TreeSense Pulse transmits data packets via LoRaWAN or NB-IoT, which are processed by a [...]
