VDL presents the Par Meter, a photosynthetically active radiation meter. The PAR METER is designed to measure PAR flux at wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm. There is a proportional relationship between the number of photons absorbed in the 400 to 700 nm band and the rate of photosynthesis in plants, which is important for horticultural studies and monitoring plant physiology.
With its small size, it allows you to make on-site measurements of your crops, without having to carry bulky or heavy equipment, and to know how much light energy your plants use for photosynthesis.
