How to Deploy an Ammonia Sensor in Agriculture?

Best Practices for Deploying Ammonia Sensors in Agriculture:

1. Monitoring Point Layout:
Deploy Ammonia Sensors at ventilation openings, manure accumulation areas, and feed storage areas in livestock sheds, greenhouses, and other locations to form a multi-point monitoring network, achieving full coverage of ammonia concentration.

2. IoT Integration:
Select NH3 Sensors supporting GPRS/4G and upload real-time data to a cloud platform (such as ThingsCloud) to enable remote viewing, threshold alarms, and automatic linkage with the ventilation system.

3. Threshold Setting and Automatic Linkage:
Set different safety thresholds based on animal species and growth stages (e.g., 25 ppm for pigsties, 15 ppm for chicken houses). When the concentration exceeds the standard, the system automatically triggers ventilation, spraying, or humidification devices to reduce the harm of ammonia to animal health.

4. Regular Calibration and Data Analysis:
Perform on-site calibration of the sensors every quarter and use historical data provided by the platform for trend analysis to help farmers optimize feeding management and waste disposal, improving overall production efficiency.
