Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) are important indicators to assess plant health and canopy structure.
PAR indicates how much light energy can be used by plants for photosynthesis; LAI can be used to estimate canopy density and biomass and is an important characterization parameter of plant canopy structure.
PAR and LAI can be measured simultaneously. The instrument has been calibrated before leaving the factory and the calibration value is stored in memory, so there is no need to calibrate it during use.
Plant crown analyzers are widely used in research areas such as agriculture, forestry and botany.

Operating principle:
The probe includes 80 optical PAR quantum sensors with a spacing of 1 cm, which are used to measure the PAR change in the ambient light, the longitude, latitude - Enter time and degree of the research area and the instrument can automatically calculate the zenith angle;
By setting the blade angle distribution parameter (X) and measuring the ratio of PAR above and below the canopy becomes the LAI valueof the blade angle can be calculated Plant canopy can be calculated.
