UHF RFID Plant Label Stake IDTS-PSU8 (T-Type, UCODE 8)
A T-shaped ABS RFID plant marker with a UHF chip, pushed into the soil or potting mix beside each plant. Nurseries, gardens and plantation teams read it with a UHF handheld reader and link its EPC number to that plant's record.

Overview
What a UHF RFID plant label stake does
The IDTS-PSU8 is a UHF plant tag shaped like a T-type garden plant marker, giving each plant its own EPC number. UHF readers usually capture many tags in a single sweep, so a handheld can often log a row of stakes as you walk along the bed, depending on the reader and soil moisture.
Placing and reading the stakes
- Place. Push the stem into the bed or pot next to the plant, head upright and facing the path.
- Link. Scan each new stake once and enter its EPC against the plant in your records. The chip has no user memory, so variety, sowing date and treatments stay in your software.
- Count. Take the handheld out at stock-take time, or to locate one plant among many.
Water absorbs UHF energy, so wet soil, irrigation and dense wet foliage cut read range. Test a sample stake in your own beds, at normal watering, before a large order.
When a tie tag or nail-in disc suits better
If the tag should stay on the plant itself, looped round a stem, branch, seedling bundle or tree guard, and staff read one plant at a time up close, choose the HF plant and tree tie tag IDTS-PTH165 (order it with an NFC chip for phone reading).
Where the tag must sit on the wood rather than in soil, on tree trunks, log ends or stacked timber, use the nail-in disc tag IDTS-TND1, nailed into the wood by its centre spike. With a UHF chip, the same handheld reads it too; range is confirmed by a sample. Other formats are under UHF RFID tags.
