Delta-T Devices provides a wide range of research-grade sensors for meteorological, hydrological, and environmental measurement and monitoring.
Accurate measurements of growing conditions is key to effective precision irrigation – and we provide instruments that deliver reliable data to support critical decisions.
The proven benefits of precision irrigation for growers include enhanced crop development (improved yield, quality and shelf life) alongside reduced fertiliser application rates and better water use efficiency. For sports turf the benefits include optimised playing surfaces and early warning of potential grass health problems.
Delta-T Devices works closely with some of the world’s leading research institutes to bring the benefits of new technologies to growers. Our product range provides growers, irrigation consultants and turf professionals with a full set of tools to determine and optimise effective precision irrigation regimes for specific sites, crops and turf.
The NIAB EMR WET Centre
Delta-T Devices is a proud partner in the NIAB EMR Wet Centre, a UK-based facility featuring an integrated portfolio of cutting-edge irrigation technologies designed to improve water use efficiency and productivity in commercial horticulture.
Specialising in the cultivation of soft fruit, the WET Centre brings together leading researchers, sensor suppliers and irrigation equipment specialists to demonstrate irrigation best practice on a commercial scale.
The Centre offers one-to-one expert technical advice and training workshops – presenting advanced and proven solutions to reduce costs, reduce negative environmental impact, and achieve industry leading yields and financial returns.
Showcased at the WET Centre – “The Precision Irrigation Package (PIP)”
The WET Centre gives visitors a chance to see live operation of the Precision Irrigation Package (PIP), a complete smart irrigation solution which features Delta-T Devices and Netafim UK equipment.
This powerful and convenient system, available through Netafim UK’s main dealer network, includes Delta-T Devices’s SM150T Moisture and Temperature Sensor alongside our advanced GP2 Data Logger and Controller. Live data can be remotely monitored on smart phones (via dashboards) using Delta-T’s online DeltaLINK-Cloud service.
The package comes complete with hardware, installation, training and support provided by NIAB EMR.

The WET Centre project is based partly on two earlier 3 year research and development projects in which Delta-T Devices was a key collaborator and technology provider.
These projects (IUK101623 & IUK102124) were funded by Innovate UK (IUK). The aim of these projects was to (i) make more efficient use of inputs including water, fertilisers and pesticides which is vital to the future success of all UK agri-businesses and (ii) deliver technology solutions that provide growers with decision support tools to manage the various elements of soft fruit tunnel production systems to optimise production output and resource use efficiency.
