Delta-T Devices

Delta-T Devices

Established in 1971, Cambridge based Delta-T Devices is a high-tech co-operative which designs instruments for measuring and monitoring the environment. They have a strong focus on soil moisture, precision irrigation, agronomy, plant physiology, eco-physiology, data logging, solar radiation and meteorology.

Their soil moisture kits provide cost effective and accurate soil water measurements; the kits are portable and can take hundreds of readings per hour. The PR2 Profile Probe can accurately measure vertical profiles of soil moisture to a depth of one metre, while their innovative WET Sensor provides soil salinity and moisture measurements, allowing nutrient level monitoring and fertigation control.

Combining soil and environmental sensors with powerful Delta-T Data Loggers can form custom weather stations for accurate weather monitoring. The 12 channel GP2 Data Logger and Controller is weatherproof, rugged, and offers advanced control capabilities, with water savings of 60% possible when used for precision irrigation.

Delta-T’s plant science products include the SunScan system, which quantifies solar radiation penetration into low uniform canopies and displays Leaf Area Index – a measure of crop performance. The AP4 Porometer measures the rate of water diffusion though leaf surfaces and displays stomatal conductance – an indicator of water stress.

The creation of Agri-Tech East has been very timely and with the enthusiastic leadership of Dr Belinda Clarke is of significant benefit to Delta-T given the changes in our markets.

Delta-T’s products are mostly used by the research community. However, technology transfer from research to agricultural and horticultural growers has resulted in a number of Delta-T’s products entering commercial grower markets.

In a short period of time Belinda has been able to build a substantial and diverse network of high-calibre agri-businesses and technologists. As a result Agri-Tech East has enabled Delta-T to better engage the region’s significant commercial grower community as well as providing a forum for novel B2B opportunities and collaborations. This exposure is helping shape our on-going new product developments as well as our longer term strategic aims.
