  • Plant growth platform
    Patent number: 11895942
    Abstract: A method for continuous real time monitoring of a crop growth including the use of a telescoping sensor mount capable of systematically extending a sensor above a crop growth canopy. The method includes determining a value associated with soil saturation, soil nitrogen mineralization, and growing degree units. These values are made available to the user real time. The telescoping sensor mount of the invention includes a foldaway tripod support system and is further capable of being powered with solar energy.
    Type: Grant

  • Underground sensor mount and telemetry device
    Patent number: 11862843
    Abstract: A containment housing contains environment probes and a data transmit module below grade of a field. A breakaway antenna assembly couples to the data module and transmits data from the sensors real time. The breakaway antenna includes a 360-degree hinge and is self-righting, thereby allowing farm implements to move past the antenna without breaking antenna.
