Nested Approach to IoT Agriculture Agriculture has changed dramatically in the last two decades and fast developing technologies will continue to have a tremendous influence on the farming practices in the years to come. IoT in agriculture is gaining importance since it helps monitor multiple on-farm assets all at once. But how does it work? The Nested or Holistic approach means connecting many different devices/ solutions that are strategically placed in fields. Pessl Instruments connects all the dots, makes it easier to control your farm and fields, so you don’t have to worry REMOTE FIELD &...

about important management decisions being overlooked. This way you avoid unnecessary trips to the field, know exactly what the conditions at any given time are, make timely decision about irrigation, fertilizing, pesticide application, harvesting, and more 24/7 all year round. For the nested approach to work, you need multiple devices to monitor multiple issues in your field and around your farm; having just one weather station cannot provide enough data to respond to everything your farm needs.

iMETOS VWS Virtual Weather Station 3.3 Virtual Stations exist for any point on the earth, for which meteoblue can derive weather data. The data is not the result from an actual METOS® station measurement, but consists of simulated data, calculated by highly reliable meteoblue weather models. In some terrains, such as flatlands, the calculated data is highly accurate with minimal discrepancies to actual values, such as temperature or precipitation. These are the regions where virtual stations prove to be a great asset. In cases where terrain is more complex or the discrepancies to actual values...
