Ethylene transmitters are commonly used in agricultural and horticultural applications to monitor the ethylene levels in fruit storage facilities, greenhouses, and other growing environments. By monitoring ethylene levels, growers can optimize fruit ripening, reduce spoilage, and improve crop yields. They can also be used in research settings to study the effects of ethylene on plant growth and development.
The GSE-3.0 Gas transmitter is a device that is designed to detect ethylene gas in the air with high sensitivity. It can detect concentrations of ethylene gas as low as 20 parts per million (ppm) in the air, making it an ideal tool for monitoring ethylene levels in fruit cold storage environments.
