You may not be able to see into the future, but we can. Our Predictive Weather subscription makes certain your Seed control knows the storm is coming before it arrives, allowing time for equipment to make needed adjustments to protect your structure and crop. Whether you’re onsite or not, Seed has your back.

  • Accesses the local forecast—based on latitude/longitude—for upcoming inclement weather
  • Proactively close vents, turn off fans, and adjusts other outdoor-facing equipment wheninclement weather is detected
  • Reacts to anticipated shifts in temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, wind gusts,and cloud cover
  • Backup and supplement for an on-site Weather Station, including alarm activation when needed
  • Requires external internet access
  • Allows you to define time span of forecast
  • Alarms

Introducing the Soil Analyzer, an advanced soil sensor that’s a game changer for all growers.

FEATURES

  • Reads soil temperature, moisture, and electrical conductivity (EC)
  • Create sensor alarms to protect your plants from unforseen events– Temperature, soil moisture, and EC
  • Sensor data can be graphed for analysis
  • Adjust watering frequency and duration with the soil moisture sensor
  • Monitor root zone temperature to optimize floor or bench heat settings
  • View EC trends to fine tune nutrient recipes
  • Readings can be pooled with other sensors, associated to equipment, used in influences, and more
  • Probes connect to second com port and don’t require additional sensor inputs
  • Multiple Soil Analyzers can be connected through a network

More information gives Seed more power and you more control. Sensors add value to your Seed control as constant monitoring guides greenhouse climate management. The result is improved crop yield and quality, reduced energy consumption and lower environmental impact. Sensors reduce microclimates, improve pest management effectiveness and result in a consistent crop.

OPTIONS

Use your equipment to its maximum potential by responding to a variety of data sets.

  • Temperature – Readings inside and outside the greenhouse provide rapid measurements
  • Humidity – Relative humidity readings from indoors and outside the greenhouse allow the controller to make informed decisions about how to regulate humidity
  • Exclusive to Seed – high humidity sensor. Perfect for propagation of any high humidity environment with an operating range of 0-100%.
  • Anemometer and wind direction – Measures wind speed and direction and data is used to determine when to open and close vents.
  • Light PAR – Modulating lights – use PAR sensor at crop level to check amount of light received from the sun – and modulate lights up or down in intensity to provide proper micromole level for the crop. Reduces energy usage of the light as well as your cooling system.
  • Precipitation – Combined with temperature sensor to protect structure from heavy snows, informs venting decisions
  • CO2 (carbon dioxide) – Essential component of photosynthesis. Needs to be monitored for alarm conditions
  • PH (acidity and alkalinity); EC (electrical conductivity); DO (dissolved oxygen) – Used in all mediums including aquaponics and deep water culture for logging, monitoring and alarms.
  • Barometric Pressure – Keeps pathogens out or butterflies in by using fans to maintain a positive/negative pressure in zone.
  • Soil Moisture – Irrigation trigger or, backup trigger to keep the crop from wilting
  • CO (carbon monoxide) – Monitors boiler rooms for alarm status

Local Roots (Seed Sphere)

“People think greenhouse growers don’t think about the weather but it’s important to review the graphs and see how the environment is responding to outside conditions.”
JOHN MCMAHON

Schuyler Greens (Seed)

“The Cloud has been an incredible tool that gives me full access anywhere I go. Not only have I been able to make adjustments while away from work, but I’ve also been able to see conditions and ensure all systems are working during blizzards when our roads are closed and I can’t get to the school. We’ve even been able to detect power outages and empty propane tanks before it was too late!”
ERIC SAWATZKE

West Central Area ISD Agriculture Instructor (Wadsworth Cloud)

“This is the most intuitive control I’ve ever seen. It speaks to my generation.”

“Honestly, my experience with the Wadsworth team could not have been better. I highly recommend the Seed system – and look forward to working together on future projects.”
JONATHAN NELSON

“At Sunridge Nurseries, Inc. we have recently upgraded our Wadsworth Seed Controls from the ‘Nimble’ format to the cloud accessible ‘Teguar’ format and WOW, what at difference.  Having the ability to access and have support through the “cloud” is a game changer!  Nothing wrong with the previous version, as we have always found the Wadsworth Seed Controls to be easy to use and program for our greenhouse environments.  The “Cloud” makes it so easy to access our controllers remotely and monitor the greenhouses day & night.  Any tech support we may have needed has been met with a quick response.  We couldn’t be happier with the Wadsworth team!”
