Weather: AgSense^®  Applications

Why use our in-depth, custom remote weather monitoring?

Access to accurate weather data is one of the best ways to ensure you can make the best possible irrigations decisions, and the new AgSense Weather Station is an important tool to detect current, field-specific weather conditions and view historical weather in your field.

Features:

• In-depth monitoring – Sensors for wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, rain, barometric pressure and solar radiation, plus enclosure with a built-in solar panel
• Easy access – View weather data anytime, anywhere via the web or mobile apps from AgSense
• More productivity – real-time text message alerts about changing weather conditions can improve your labor and farm machine efficiency, allowing you to allocate resources where they’re needed most.
• Informed decisions – having easy access to real-time temperature, humidity and frost conditions will result in better decision making during harvest and when working with livestock.

Remotely Monitor Rainfall, Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and Solar Radiation

• Precipitation can greatly vary from field to field. Rainfall is shown in 12-hour, 24-hour and Year-to-Date amounts, and starts measuring rainfall as soon as it starts.
• External temperature sensors aid in vital farm decision making, including data about heat and frost conditions for irrigation, harvesting and livestock. 
• Not only are relative humidity sensors perfect for monitoring field conditions at harvest time, but they can also be used to monitor ventilation in poultry and hog living enclosures.
• It's more important than ever to monitor wind speed and direction. This is the perfect method for keeping expensive chemicals in your own fields. 
• Solar radiation is important to measure the intensity, quality and duration of the sun's rays. A common use is to monitor delicate crop stages in barley and rice.
• The leaf wetness sensor is connected directly to a plant's leaf. This helps predict the perfect time for spraying crops, measuring water storage in the plant and detecting frost.
