Agricontrol by Termotecnica Pericoli launches X-3TRH One controller, three smart contacts, infinite configurations Agricontrol by Termotecnica Pericoli, with 45 years of experience in greenhouse climate control and agricultural automation, presents the X-3TRH: a digital thermostat/humidistat featuring three independent smart contacts, each individually programmable to manage temperature, humidity, or both simultaneously. The new thermostat/humidistat combining temperature and humidity control will be officially launched at GreenTech Amsterdam 2026.
From complexity to control: what X-3TRH solves In greenhouses and livestock facilities, climate management requires simultaneous control of multiple parameters across different zones and devices: heating, cooling, ventilation, humidity regulation, and alarm systems. Built for the real world The X-3TRH was engineered around the actual conditions of greenhouse and livestock environments: • IP55 protection: resistant to dust and water jets, performing reliably in humid, chemically aggressive environments.
• Combined temperature + humidity probe (SHT85 sensor, included) with ±0.5°C / ±2% RH accuracy, installable up to 100 metres from the control unit, ideal for large-span structures. Meet us at Greentech Amsterdam 2026 X-3TRH will be on display at Greentech Amsterdam 2026 (9–11 June, RAI Amsterdam), alongside the full Agricontrol product range for greenhouse climate control, computerised fertigation, and remote supervision.
Why this matters: For operators, this is a water-management story. The useful signal is that direct substrate measurements can help cut drain loss materially without giving up yield or fruit quality, which is exactly the kind of controllable efficiency gain a facility can build on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does substrate sensing matter in free-drain strawberry systems?
Because drain percentage tells a grower what already happened, while substrate moisture and EC data show root-zone conditions directly. That makes it easier to cut water loss without guessing.
What is the operator takeaway from this trial?
If the thresholds are understood well enough, growers can reduce drain water materially while protecting yield and fruit quality, which makes sensing an operational tool instead of a reporting tool.
