The weather (and its variability) and other environmental conditions have by far the biggest influence on our cropping success or failure.

Weather monitoring offers a set of measurement options to provide useful information about soil and crop conditions, such as:

• Air and soil temperature
• Relative humidity
• Soil moisture
• Rainfall
• Wind speed/direction
• Evapotranspiration
• Delta T
• Atmospheric pressure

At this workshop you will learn how generating your own real-time environmental data will help you to:

• monitor the health of your trees and crop performance
• get the data to make better irrigation decisions
• observe wind conditions before spray activities
• predict potential favourable conditions for insect pests and diseases
• know the right time to establish and sustain new plantings
• know when to perform weather-dependent farm operations

Learn how to store the information and build a long-term record that will enable you to benchmark which practices worked well in specific seasons or conditions.

See how the technology available to generate this information has improved significantly over recent years. Accurate monitoring with weather stations and sensors is more affordable and accessible than ever! Come along and see a wide variety of different weather stations currently available.

Meteorological experts and environmental scientists will be on hand to help you decide what work for you and your orchard.
