Thank you for cooperating with the Groasis waterboxx experiments.

With this part of the website we offer the possibility to register the growth results of your plantings. You are invited to enter information about the planting place, the local climate conditions, the soil quality, the species that you plant and more. You can register the Temperature with a thermometer and the Relative Humidity with an RH meter and then put the info by hand in the web-based form. You can also use a digital logger with a USB connection to register the temperature and RH, put the USB in your PC and the info will be downloaded automatically into the web-based form. You can find the info about the digital logger in the Manual. You find the button on top of this page. When you finish your trial you are asked to enter the final results. By participating you agree that your results will be made public: in the future visitors can determine the trial places on a world map and enter to the info of this planting place. By sharing the worldwide results of the Groasis waterboxx trials, everybody is able to check what the box’s capacities are and which results you may expect under which circumstances.

Once participating we ask you the following:

• Enter your company info.
• Enter your local circumstances.
• Enter your trial info.
• Measure each month on the last day.
• You can do this with simple instruments and add the info by hand.
• You can also do it through digital loggers.
• Add the info via your login and password in your digital form.
• If you use digital loggers, we prefer that you use two loggers that automatically measure the Temperature and the Relative Humidity. One logger is for the open air and one logger you put in the center of the box. At the end of each month you put them into the USB connection of your computer and the information will be uploaded automatically to the Groasis website.
• You also have to use a soil thermometer that you use once per month to measure the soil temperature below the box, the soil temperature aside of the box and to measure the water temperature in the box. This information is readable from the small screen on top of it and noted by hand. You then put it on the website.
• Take a soil sample (at least know the Nitrogen – Potassium - Phosphor content of the soil, preferable also the micro elements).
• Make a deep hole in order to check the groundwater level.
• In the same time make a good documentation (possible with photos’) of the structure of the soil.
• On each test we ask you to plant always a minimum of 2 until 10 saplings of the specie Cupressus sempervirens (Cipres) as a control group in the boxes. In this way we have the same variety worldwide in the test. This makes it easier to compare results.
• Also plant a control group without the box of at least 10 plants of the specie that you plant in the trial and of at least 2 to 10 saplings of the specie Cupressus sempervirens (Cipres).
• If you want to participate, then register or login on top of this page.

Thanks for your cooperation
