Abstract: An apparatus for controlling fermentation of natural material. The apparatus includes one or more sensors configured to measure at least one property of natural material, a container configured to contain a chemical reactive agent reducing or limiting a fermentation process of the natural material; a valve coupled with the container; and a controller configured to process the measured at least one property of the natural material, and, if the processing meets a predetermined condition, control the valve to open so that the chemical reactive agent is released into the natural material in order to limit the fermentation process of the natural material.

Abstract: A method and a probe for monitoring fermentation prone agricultural natural products, such as stored hay, straw, fodder, silage grains, seeds, and kernels. The method includes inserting at least one probe in the product to be monitored. The probe can include at least one sensor for monitoring fermentation, a wireless communication unit for communicating measured data from the probe, sending wirelessly the measured data, receiving the measured data by a base station arranged at a distance from the product, determining the location of the probe by a location unit arranged in the base station, and creating a location data of the probe, and enabling visualization of the measured data and the location data.
