Agro meteorology
Precision agriculture based on weather
Solutions for agricultural risk management, disease and water management, including a proprietary GIS platform for analytics and automated crop-weather advisory services.
Weather shapes every farming decision
Weather has a significant bearing on agricultural practice in India. We provide instrumentation for precision farming as well as a weather-based decision support system that auto-generates advisories and customisable bulletins.
Instruments
- Crop canopy scintillometers from Kipp & Zonen
- Soil moisture sensors and probes from Apogee
- Distromet (Switzerland) raindrop measurement
- Apogee PAR sensors, radiometers and spectrophotometers
- Chlorophyll meters, pressure sensors and oxygen meters
Software
- metGIS AGRO: decision support system for agro meteorology
- Real-time crop modelling for yield estimation before harvest
Services
- Support for instruments and software
- Daily weather-based advisory bulletins
- R&D services for crop and disease forecasting
