ARIMAD helps you schedule irrigation wisely! While most monitoring systems only monitor one of these influences, the ARIMAD Pressure Chamber takes all four into consideration when taking a direct plant based measurement.

Plant water stress is influenced by 4 environmental conditions:
Soil moisture
Humidity
Wind
Direct sunlight or heat load
While most monitoring systems only monitor one of these influences, the ARIMAD Pressure Chamber takes all four into consideration when taking a direct plant based measurement.
What is it good for?
The pressure chamber can be used in various fields of agriculture
Wine Grapes
Thepressure chamber method introduced by ARIMAD is widely used in thewine industry within the past decades. Understanding the significanceof the quality of grapes for producing premium wine, agronomistsnowadays seek for ways to improve the quality of their grapes. Amongwoody plants, grapevines are often described as highly vulnerable towater-stress. Vine's physiological characteristics are highly influenced by theirrigation regime applied towards them; for example, deficitirrigation, which means deliberately withholding irrigation to causestress, is known to improve the grapes quality. But how can wedistinguish between well-irrigated and water stressed vines on thespot. TheARIMAD pressure chamber allows you to control and monitor the vine'swater statussothat you can stress the vine just to the appropriate level.
