One of the most important things farmers can do for their fields is to set up proper climate monitoring in this new data-based agronomy sector, as it helps them tackle specific problems and better manage their labor, water usage, and crop safety. Regular on-farm climate monitoring is very important for good yield and productivity.
Advance On-Farm Climate & Weather Monitoring System
You can now collect data reliably and automatically due to the integrated weather monitoring system. The important data you want to track is obtained by linked sensors. It is possible to collect information across all of the sectors, regardless of their similarity. This is then sent through the digital platform to your phone, computer, or tablet and accessed at any time.
Pessl Instruments microclimate monitoring system helps in examining:
- Rainfall: see how much rain has fallen over a given period
- Temperature: track temperature changes over a day, week, month or longer
- Wind Speed and Direction: wind measurements allow farmers to predict more accurately oncoming storms.
- Air Pressure: another predictor of the potential conditions in your immediate area (such as a thunderstorm)
- Humidity: it helps you make better decisions on water use and pending precipitation

The Agricultural Benefits Of Measuring Weather Conditions
You can do more than just monitor the basic weather conditions metrics as outlined above by using microclimate monitoring system. It enables you to gain better insights from data analytics. For example, the system can also allow you to track better the risk of plant diseases, including common wheat, grape, and apple crops diseases.
The available data can also be displayed in the date ranges set by the user, enabling him to see the historical data patterns in pattern formation.
- Cost-saving: smart farming techniques lead to reduce water, labour and plant nutrients prices.
- Save Water Resources: understanding the precise rainfall for each plant will help to maximize irrigation, avoiding overwatering that can have an effect not only on crop safety but also on the climate.
- Save time and be more Organized: being able to view water levels and weather conditions save time to the fields remotely. You can also plan what needs to be done during the day while avoiding rain or other weather, by knowing weather patterns.
