BASELINING CRITERIA FOR RF SENSING IN HORTICULTURE APPLICATION

The invention provides a horticulture system (1) comprising a plurality of repeating horticulture system units (100) and a control system (300), wherein: each horticulture system unit (100) comprises (i) a horticulture unit space (110) and (ii) a radio transmission pair (120) arranged to monitor the horticulture unit space (110), wherein the radio transmission pair (120) comprises a radio transmitter and a radio receiver arranged in radio signal receiving relationship; the control system (300) is configured to execute in a unit sensing stage (230) a measurement in at least one of the horticulture unit spaces (110) with the respective radio transmission pair (120); the control system (300) is further configured in an operational mode to: (i) execute a first signal sensing stage (231), wherein the first signal sensing stage (231) comprises the unit sensing stage (230) with a first radio transmission pair (121) related to first horticulture unit space (111) thereby providing a first signal (241) to the control system (300); and (ii) determine a plant-related parameter data based on (a) the first signal (241) and (b) a baseline signal (245), wherein the baseline signal (245) is based on a second signal (242) obtained with an execution of a second signal sensing stage (232), wherein the second signal sensing stage (232) comprises the unit sensing stage (230) with a second radio transmission pair (122) related to a second horticulture unit space (112) thereby providing the second signal (242).
