Introduction to Sensor
The ACCUPAR LP-80 is a highly accurate instrument for measuring canopy light interception and evaluating plant canopy growth. It measures PAR transmission and automatically calculates Leaf Area Index (LAI) in real time. With an above-canopy sensor, the LP-80 enables simultaneous above- and below-canopy PAR measurements for comprehensive crop and vegetation analysis.
