ND-ILT Leaf Temperature Sensor
What is the ND-ILT? The ND-ILT is a clip-on leaf temperature sensor for direct contact measurement of leaf surface temperature — a key indicator of stomatal behaviour, transpiration and plant water stress. With ±0.08 °C accuracy from −5 to +50 °C, it is purpose-built for outdoor remote monitoring, irrigation control, field monitoring, smart agriculture and scientific research connected to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger.

Applications
Where the ND-ILT is used
Outdoor remote monitoring
Long-term canopy temperature in remote orchards, vineyards and field stations.
Irrigation control
Detect canopy temperature rise from water stress — trigger irrigation by plant signal.
Field monitoring
Compare canopy temperature across cultivars, plots and management zones.
Smart agriculture & research
Crop physiology, breeding selection and stress-tolerance trials.
Integration
Powered by the yDoc ML-525 datalogger
The ND-ILT connects directly to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger. The yDoc powers the sensor, schedules measurements, stores readings locally and transmits them to the Sensor-Online platform via 4G/LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, satellite or Ethernet — with up to 10 years of battery life.
