AgroSense

The AgroSense system is comprised of a wireless network of small meteorological stations and other measuring equipment. It is an easy-to-install, accurate and reliable solution to collect high-resolution data such as soil moisture, leaf wetness, etc. and to identify needs for irrigation, application of pesticides and other treatments. Measured values are transferred wirelessly by the system and the data are stored centrally. The system also enables the user to visualize the stored data. If the pre-set limits are exceeded, the system automatically alarms the user by sending a text message or an e-mail. The AgroSense system is capable of measuring the solar energy the plants can use and the conductivity of the soil or the substrate, allowing optimization of the distribution of nutrients. With the help of the AgroSense Nodes, adequately detailed measurement of the cultivation area is possible, as more than 100 nodes may be deployed for an AgroSense base within a distance of 900 m. The plant protection forecast and interventions may be segmented. For farmers who find coordination of cultivating several fragmented cultivation areas problematic, the AgroSense system provides easy to understand information presented on maps to support their decisions. The AgroSense server safely stores and processes the data received. With adequate access rights, the user can be anywhere and have access to the information using a web browser and receive up-to-date information about the status of the arable land and any necessity for actions. There is a web-based user interface to interactively display and monitor data in a quick and transparent manner. Know exactly when and where cultivation is needed, which will make quality control easier and reduces the risks for a failed harvest.
