WHEN TO APPLY FERTILIZER:

- Optimal is when after spreading follows 40 mm of rain, also 25 mm is good

- Bad is when no rain follows – we can help with irrigation system

- With no rain fertilizer is not being diluted and the uptake to the plant isn‘t possible

WHEN TO SPRAY:

- If after a spray a rain follows (from 5 mm on), we can loose all the active compound to the ground

- Spraying should not be done if wind speed is more then 10 m/sec

- If after a spray there is a perdio of high RH – more than 70 %, it takes longer to dry out the applied spray – uptake to the plant is better

FARM LOGISTIC OPTIMISATION – FARM OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

The weather station with

temperature, humidity, rainfall,

global radiation and wind speed is

used to calculate the potential

evapotranspiration (ET0).

Profile probe soil moisture sensor

(from Sentek or John Deere) with

sensors at every 10 cm measuring

volumetric soil moisture, electrical

conductivity and temperature can:

• Increase wat er use ef f iciency

• Im prove f ru it qulit y

INSECT MANAGEMENT

The field camera shows the field conditions, growth of the crop, attacks of the birds and weather in the own fields

remotely. It combines the documentation and permanent observation, weather data and other important data.
