Localized CO2 monitors, placed in close proximity to the plants themselves would help combat microclimates forming within the growing areas, which are liable to change as plants grow and mature.

The use of automation to improve yields in commercial greenhouses has accelerated rapidly in recent years, with nutrients, water, temperature and lighting all tightly controlled by sophisticated IoT systems taking data from local sensors and climate computers to optimize growing conditions. Advances in these IoT systems have concentrated on efficiency to reduce operational costs for the farm while maximizing yield.
