Weather station

Because of the centrality of climate in agriculture, information on the state of the weather is a fundamental part of decision-making. Modern agriculture requires precise and constantly updated weather information to guide production processes and enable the farmer to be prepared and able to react when necessary. The ARVUM weather stations allow the calculation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo), cold hours’ models, daytime degrees, risk of freezing and diseases, … Similarly, they provide real-time information, allowing the calculation of the crop and farm water needs and provide models for the risk of occurrence of diseases and pests.

Smart water point

Monitoring soil moister for a long time is a practical and effective way to measure irrigation efficiency and use. ARVUM’s sensors monitor the evolution of moister and other parameters of agricultural importance. (temperature and electrical conductivity) length of the entire irrigation bulb, both in depth and in width. The data, permanently supplied by the sensors, allows a better management of the water and an effective management of the fertilizers.

– Capacitive probes
– Sphygmomanometers
– Measurement of useful and available water for the plant
– Field capacity and permanent wilting point
– Water meter
– Measurement of the evolution of salts in the bulb (EC of the bulb)
– Measurement of the electrical conductivity of irrigation water
