Rapid Crop Height Gauge IN-ZG02

Rapid Crop Height Gauge

The Wheat Plant Height Measuring Instrument is a portable, fast-response crop height measurement tool designed specifically for the agricultural sector. Using in-built optical ranging technology and in-field analysis through built-in algorithms, it is capable of acquiring height data in real time.

Different criteria are used to measure plant height at different times in wheat. Wheat plant height is generally defined as the distance between the base of the plant and the top of the main stem, i.e. the main stem growth point.

Seedling stage:

(1) Pseudostem height: The distance from the base of the plant (or at the meristem) to the top of the leaf sheath of the uppermost unfolded leaf (i.e. at the auricle) is the pseudostem height (or length);

(2) Plant length: the distance from the base of the plant to the tip of the uppermost unfolded leaf is the plant length.

2. Seedling stage:

Pseudostem height: the distance from the base of the plant (or at the meristematic node) to the top of the leaf sheath of the uppermost unfolded leaf (i.e. at the auricle) is taken as the pseudostem height (or length);

True stem height: the total length of each internode is the true stem height (or length);

(3) Plant length: the distance from the base of the plant to the tip of the uppermost unfolded leaf is the plant length.

3. At the stage of nodulation:

(1) Pseudostem height: the distance from the base of the plant (or at the cornucopia) to the top of the leaf sheath of the uppermost unfolded leaf (i.e., at the auricle) is taken as pseudostem height (or length);

(2) True stem height: the total length of each internode is the true stem height (or length);

(3) Plant length: the distance from the base of the plant to the tip of the uppermost spreading leaf is the plant length.

4. Grouting stage: the distance from the base of the plant (or tiller node) to the top of the spike (excluding the awn) is the plant height.

Functional features

New Measuring Technology - Adopts built-in optical ranging technology instead of the traditional photographic method, and the light system is completely sealed with no light leakage, which reduces the influence of environmental factors and ensures accurate and instant measurements under any conditions.

Wide range of applications - Can be applied to a variety of tall and short crops at the same time, without the need to replace the equipment, multi-purpose machine.

Convenient operation - the device is an all-in-one design, no need to be assembled, easy to carry and use directly in the field.

Intelligent component integration - Includes a measuring rod, smartphone and dedicated application (APP) to view and manage data in the cloud or on your mobile phone.

Flexibility - The mobile phone can be fixed or handheld, and can be moved up to 10 metres away from the pole during measurement, making it easy to capture images of the entire plant.

Improved Accuracy - The measuring pole is equipped with a level and a solid stand to ensure stability and accuracy during the measurement process.

Large storage capacity - Built-in 128GB storage space, capable of storing measurement date, crop type, measurement results, geographic location, crop photos and notes at the same time.

Data Analysis and Management - Users can view the analysis results through the device and export pictures and data in Excel format.

Cloud Service Support - Automatically uploads data to the cloud under wifi/4G network connection for remote management and analysis.

Wide applicability - Minimum measurement height of 0.05 metres, maximum measurement height of 2.6 metres, suitable for most types of crop height measurement needs.

Chinese and English switching - Built-in Chinese and English bilingual display, one-key switching.
