  • Plant light sensor adaptor
    Patent number: 4029959
    Abstract: A plant light sensor adaptor for converting a plant soil moisture monitoring device into a plant light sensing device is provided. The plant soil moisture monitoring device includes first and second metal electrodes and an indicator coupled to the electrodes for sensing and indicating current flow due to the electro-galvanic response produced by the difference in the redox potential in the first and second metal electrodes, which current flow is controlled by the moisture content of the plant soil under test.
