PARTNER FEATURE ▶▶▶ Digital plant protection with iMETOS H
aving a full understanding of spray timings on farm is extremely im- portant. To put it simply: the more precise actionable data you have
from the field, the better decisions you can make. The goal is to select the best timing for spray applications, to optimise the interval between applications that will ensure both disease and pest control as well as reduce the use of chemicals, and to evaluate the success of spraying.
Digital plant protection is a cutting-edge holistic approach to field management which helps farmers achieve bigger and better-qual- ity yields at a lower cost. It combines three connected units: a physical weather station ( µMETOS CLIMA), a GPS tracker (iMETOS Track- er) and a cloud platform (FieldClimate) to offer actionable tools and a direct benefit to the customer: a higher return on investment.
The iMetos systems by Pessl Instruments help farmers protect their crops with a minimum input of chemicals, based on local weather data collected by the farms’ own sensors.
How it works Site-specific Internet of Things (IoT) weather stations are used to monitor weather condi- tions in near real-time (rainfall, RH, tempera- ture, wind, Delta T and more). The data is also used to calculate numerous disease models for more than 50 crops and the calculation of growing degree days which adds to the under- standing of the susceptibility of the crop to disease risk. Furthermore, site-specific, field-level weather forecasts are corrected with real-time local measurements on an hourly ba- sis, which builds a powerful plant protection work planning tool that helps you plan the work week better and optimise operations for each field. Finally, IoT trackers evaluate the quality of work (speed and coverage), which
also provides a time stamped record of field spraying in relation to the spray conditions. All the data and actionable tools are presented on a cloud platform, which makes it easy to access from any place, at any time on either your desktop or on a mobile device.
The return on investment With precision spray applications, yield and quality loss can be minimised by 5 to 10 bush- els per acre because of better timed and in- creased spray coverage. What’s more, the en vir - on mental impact is lower, the use of resources is optimised, and time and money are saved with better work planning and execution.
