A sensing device for sensing wetness, the sensing device comprising a sensor, the sensor having a main portion, the main portion comprising more than one sensing regions, the sensing device including a respective sensing arrangement for sensing wetness in each of the more than one sensing regions such that the wetness of each sensing region is independently sensed.
A spray sensing system configured to measure coverage of a spray applied to a crop, comprising a plurality of sensing devices, for sensing wetness, each of the plurality of the sensing device comprising:
- a sensor having a main portion, the main portion comprising more than one sensing regions, the sensing device including a respective sensing arrangement for sensing wetness in each of the more than one sensing regions such that the wetness of each sensing region is independently sensed.
A method of measuring coverage of a spray applied to a field of crop, the method comprising:
- providing at least one spray sensing system configured to measure coverage of a spray applied to a crop, the system comprising a plurality of sensing devices attached to a canopy of the crops, each sensing device comprising:
- a sensor, the sensor having a main portion, the main portion comprising more than one sensing regions, the sensing device including a respective sensing arrangement for sensing wetness in each of the more than one sensing regions such that the wetness of each sensing region is independently sensed;
- wherein information data from the gateway device is processed to determine a spray coverage.
