Cheap Sensors for Good Data: Economical Approaches for Research *CEU Approved*
Objective(s):
The objective of this interactive workshop is to demonstrate equipment that can be used to quantify the growing environment and plant growth and stress that is not only accurate and informative, but economical to build and/or purchase.
The objective of this interactive workshop is to demonstrate equipment that can be used to quantify the growing environment and plant growth and stress that is not only accurate and informative, but economical to build and/or purchase.
Quantifying the growing environment, substrate moisture and irrigation, and plant growth, development and stress are essential for horticultural science. However, the instrumentation to collect these data can be cost-prohibitive for researchers. Fortunately, there are economical alternatives. This workshop is designed to provide cost-effective, economical sensor and instrument solutions. In this workshop, attendees will be placed into groups and participants will rotate among five different interactive stations, each with demonstrations of different economical sensors and instruments that are broadly applicable across horticultural research.
