Connected dendrometer

Trunk growth measured continuously: water stress as seen by the plant itself, not just by the soil.

Coming soon contact us to discuss it

What it solves

  • Detect water stress directly on the tree or the vine, before it becomes visible
  • Cross-check the plant’s response with soil readings to fine-tune irrigation rounds
  • Track growth dynamics over the season

All documentation

Included in the price

  • High-resolution dendrometer with self-contained transmission
  • Access to the Supervisor platform included
  • Open-source design (OSFARM collective)

Technical specifications

The dendrometer measures the tiny variations in trunk diameter: shrinking by day, swelling back at night. When the daily shrinkage deepens and the trunk no longer recovers overnight, the plant is short of water — the most direct water-stress indicator there is, complementary to soil probes.

The product is developed as open source within the OSFARM collective and is coming to the catalogue soon. Interested for your plots or your trials? Let us know — the first deployments are carried out with pilot users.
