Weather represents the greatest opportunity, and risk, in the agriculture sector. Knowledge of historic agro-environmental data for a specific field is a key factor to turn anticipations into profitability.
Meteo archives are fundamental when farmer decide to implant a new crop. In fact, parameters like wind exposure (intensity and direction) can be critical for some plants that needs natural pollination. At the same time, the climate change that is affecting last years can drive the choose towards new more resistant crops rather than native ones. In all the cases, the availability of agro-environmental archives helps farmer to identify the best crop, to plan the best strategy and to optimize the investment reducing its financial exposure.
OMICAFARM® – PLAN – AGROMETEO is the service of historic analysis of agro-environmental data calibrated for agriculture. A wide set of parameters is available and the most relevant are selected and provided:
Meteorological parameters:
– Precipitations
– Snow level
– Temperature at 2 meters
– Perceived Temperature at 2 meters
– Wind direction and intensity
– Humidity
– Atmospheric Pressure
– Ultraviolet Index
Agro-environmental parameters
– Surface temperature
– Total evapotranspiration
– Leaf wetness
– Dew point temperature
Historic analysis can be conduct for a variable time range of 5-10-15 years or, upon request, over longer period. Data can be retrieved from archives for a single site or for an extended area in following format:
– Textual format
– Graphic format
– Maps format (only for extended area)
