Leaf Wetness

Weather Station

The Leaf Wetness Sensor is designed to monitor the presence and duration of moisture on plant leaves, providing valuable insight into crop conditions and disease risk.


Installed within the plant canopy or on a weather station, the sensor measures leaf surface wetness in real time, helping growers better understand microclimate conditions that directly affect plant health.


This sensor plays a key role in disease modelling—such as calculating Bacchus Botrytis Risk—by detecting when leaves remain wet long enough to create favourable conditions for fungal and bacterial infections.


By integrating with Harvest telemetry systems, the Leaf Wetness Sensor supports more informed decision‑making, enabling growers to optimise spray timing, reduce crop losses, and improve overall management of vineyards, orchards, and other horticultural operations.

Technical Specs

  • Leaf surface wetness detection – measures presence and duration of moisture directly on leaf surfaces for accurate canopy monitoring

  • Canopy or weather station installation – flexible mounting options allow placement within crops or on monitoring stations for representative readings

  • Disease risk modelling capability – supports calculation of indices such as Botrytis risk based on wetness conditions

  • Real‑time environmental monitoring – provides continuous data on leaf wetness to track changing field conditions

  • Telemetry system integration – compatible with Harvest IoT systems for remote data logging, alerts, and analysis

  • Crop management optimisation – enables informed decisions for spray timing, irrigation, and disease prevention strategies
