CI‑110 vs Smartphone Fish‑Eye Canopy Solutions: Can cheap compete?

CI‑110 vs Smartphone Fish‑Eye Canopy Solutions Can cheap compete

Researchers talk a lot about quick canopy imaging tricks lately, especially when phone apps promise convenience. Those tools attract interest because they cost almost nothing and sit in every pocket. Still, when you compare them to a true plant canopy imager, the differences grow obvious fast. The CI-110 sits in a class of its own… Continue reading…

CI‑110 Plant Canopy Imager vs Drone‑Based LAI Measurements: Which gives you more for your money?

CI‑110-Plant-Canopy-Imager-vs-Drone‑Based-LAI-Measurements

A plant canopy imager has become a core tool for crop scientists who want quick, reliable leaf area index (LAI) measurements in the field. Many research teams now debate whether handheld canopy instruments or drone-based LAI models offer better value. Both approaches collect important canopy structure data, but they differ in cost, accuracy, workflow, and… Continue reading…
