Air Quality Monitoring Devices in Agriculture: Their Role and Importance – From Envitecha

Air is not just a medium for gas exchange in plants—it also carries pollutants, dust, and gases that can directly impact crop growth. That’s why monitoring air quality in greenhouses or large farms has become a crucial step for anyone aiming for successful agricultural production.
Why Is Air Quality Important in Agriculture?
- Elevated CO₂ levels can benefit plants within limits, but excessive amounts may lead to plant stress or suffocation.
- Dust and airborne pollutants negatively affect photosynthesis.
- Humidity and temperature influence the spread of diseases and fungal growth.
Most Common Air Quality Devices:
- CO₂ Meters: Measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air.
- Thermo-Hygrometers: Measure humidity and temperature.
- Particulate Matter Monitors (PM2.5/PM10): Detect dust and airborne pollutants.
Recommended Products from Envitecha:
- Portable CO₂ & Humidity Meter with Digital Display: Ideal for greenhouse monitoring.
- Digital Hygro-Thermometer – Splash Resistant: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Smart Air Monitoring Station – WiFi Enabled with Mobile App: Enables 24/7 automated tracking.
A Tip from Envitecha:
If you’re working in a greenhouse, always monitor humidity and temperature, and make sure ventilation is sufficient. For open-field farming, a CO₂ and humidity monitor are your go-to tools.
