HF RFID Plant & Tree Tag IDTS-PTH165 (13.56 MHz Cable Tie)

What the IDTS-PTH165 RFID plant and tree tag is

Fastened around the plant itself, not set in the soil beside it, the IDTS-PTH165 moves with the plant between beds or out to a planting site, and can be left on the sapling there (check the loop as the stem grows). The chip carries an ID that your system links to the plant.

Fitting it on plants and trees

Pass the strap round the stem, pot rim or support and pull it through the head, turning the head towards the path so staff can reach it with a reader. On pot rims, seedling bundles and tree guards it can be pulled snug.

Reading tags and keeping plant records

Each tag is read by touching the HF RFID reader to its head, so staff record plants one at a time as they walk the beds. In your plant database or spreadsheet, link each tag ID to that plant's record (species, variety, planting date, location), so a read brings up its history in the field.

Tie tag, soil stake or nail-in disc?

• If you would rather read tags with a UHF handheld than an HF reader, consider the UHF plant stake label IDTS-PSU8, set in the pot or bed next to the plant; its range varies with the reader and with how wet the soil around it is, so test a sample first.
• For tree trunks too thick for a tie about 165 mm long, and for logs, posts and timber, the IDTS-TND1 nail-in disc tag is fixed by driving its spike into the wood.
