Leaf Wetness Sensor Froggit DP10 — Precision leaf moisture monitoring for smarter crop protection

The Leaf Wetness Sensor Froggit DP10 delivers reliable, real‑time insight into leaf surface moisture, helping you anticipate disease pressure, fine‑tune irrigation, and protect yield. Its leaf‑shaped sensing grid and wireless design provide fast, practical installation in orchards, vineyards, greenhouses, gardens, and research plots. Pair it with compatible Froggit gateways and consoles to visualise trends and set alerts. Choose the DP10 at Stratosens.com for a robust, easy‑to‑use solution that turns moisture events into actionable decisions.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Early disease risk awareness — Track leaf wetness duration to anticipate fungal outbreaks and schedule preventative treatments at the right moment.
• Smarter irrigation timing — Use surface moisture readings to delay unnecessary watering, reduce runoff, and optimise water use efficiency.
• Better spray efficacy — Apply products when foliage is appropriately dry or wet, improving deposition and reducing waste.
• Wireless, low‑maintenance deployment — Place sensors exactly where canopies matter most without running cables, then leave them to report automatically.
• Greenhouse and field versatility — Robust build and weather protection suit both protected and outdoor crops, from horticulture to viticulture and arable trials.
• Data you can act on — Pair with supported gateways to view live values, trends, and alerts, integrating leaf wetness into your on‑farm or research workflow.

Featured technical specifications

• Leaf‑mimicking sensing surface — A dedicated grid replicates the behaviour of a natural leaf to detect the presence and persistence of surface moisture with high sensitivity.
• Measurement scale — Leaf wetness index from 0 to 99 percent, designed to quantify the degree of wetness on the sensor surface for modelling and alerting needs.
• Wireless update rate — Transmission interval of approximately 79.5 seconds, providing responsive tracking of wet–dry transitions.
• RF communication for Europe — 868 MHz model for EU operation, enabling dependable connectivity in agricultural and research environments.
• Line‑of‑sight range — Up to 100 m in open field conditions, supporting distributed canopy monitoring with minimal infrastructure.
• Multi‑channel capability — Supports up to 8 channels when used with compatible gateways or consoles, allowing multi‑block or multi‑canopy coverage.
• On‑sensor display — Integrated LCD shows the current reading at a glance, useful for quick checks during field walks.
• Power and autonomy — Operates on one 1.5 V AA battery, engineered for long service life under typical use to minimise maintenance visits.
• Ingress protection — IP66 weatherproof housing shields the electronics from rain, irrigation, and dust for reliable all‑season operation.
• Mounting made easy — Supplied hose clamp enables quick crossbar or mast installation. Adjust the tilt to mirror the local leaf angle for best correlation.
• System compatibility — Works with selected Froggit gateways and consoles to display, log, and alert on leaf wetness values, including popular DP and HP series devices.
