What is Meteobot® IoT solution for precision and sustainable agriculture  Data logger and transmitter   Collects data from sensors Sends data via GSM/GPRS Soil moisture and temperature Wind speed and direction Leaf wetness Solar radiation Server – stores the data from all weather stations

Data logger and transmitter:  Developed in-house Sensors from established US and European suppliers Autonomous power supply (solar panel and battery) The sensors need no calibration Battery lasts for 30 days (without solar panel) 24/7 monitoring of all weather stations Energy-independent data memory EACH weather station is 10

is available in following four versions:

Meteobot® Pro Meteobot® Mini Meteobot® Micro

Rain sensor Soil temperature sensor Soil moisture sensor Wind speed sensor Sensor for air temperature, humidity and pressure Leaf wetness sensor (option) Solar radiation sensor (option) Wind direction sensor (option) Solar panel Subscription for services with sharing of weather data (for 1 year)

What is Meteobot® Pro suitable for:  Possible integration with dynamic disease models Measures soil moisture (at different depths) Can turn pumps and valves on and off Shows if there’s a need for watering (evapotranspiration) For controlling of grain silos ventilation and fogging or frost protection systems Meteobot® helps farmers determine the best time to plant, spray, irrigate, fertilize and harvest „Coverage“ (depending on location):  For cereals – about 2,5 km radius

Meteobot Mini® includes:  Rain sensor Sensor for air temperature, humidity and pressure Soil temperature sensor Built-in GPS for security and tracking Solar panel Subscription for services with sharing of weather data (for 1 year) Option for additional sensors by request

Rain sensor No overflow, no freeze, no cracks Built-in GPS for security and tracking Solar panel Subscription for services with sharing of weather data (for 1 year)

Meteobot® Nano includes:  Sensor for volumetric water content in soil Soil temperature sensor Built-in GPS for security and tracking Solar panel Subscription for services with sharing of weather data (for 1 year)

Advantages of Meteobot® Mini, Micro and Nano:  Small size Can be equipped with additional sensors Suitable when the «coverage» of Pro version is not enough:  In case of remote fields In case of big fields / orchards / vineyards

You can rely on Meteobot® anywhere, anytime. The data is send directly from the field, orchard or vineyard to your smartphone.

Meteobot® App provides you with:  Current data from weather stations Historical data Hyper-local weather forecast for 10 days Agronomic indicators such as cumulative rainfall, last measured rainfall, temperature sum (GDD), etc. Weather history for each field Weather alerts and notifications for frost, intensive

Current data from weather stations: Meteobot® App provides you with information from your weather stations – in the form of charts and tables. The data logger collects and sends data from all sensors every 10 minute

Historical data from the weather station: Meteobot® App securely stores the data from all weather stations, for an unlimited period of time. Thus, there are no gaps or omissions – as compared to manual records keeping on pape

Hyper-local weather forecast for 10 days ahead The forecast is generated by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, a proven world leader among forecasting systems, whose weather model is known as one of the most precise in the world. Forecast accuracy: • For 3 days ahead – 85%, on hourly basis • From 4th to 10th day ahead – 77%, on 6 hour basis The weather forecast includes: • Rain • Air temperature • Wind speed • Wind direction •

Historical agronomic indicators for every field: Meteobot® App provides you with extremely important agronomic indicators such as: • Cumulative rainfall since the beginning of the growing season • Cumulative rainfall since the date of sowing • Temperature sum (“growing degree days”) – important for plant vegetation • Quantity and date of last rainfall • Expected date and quantity

Setting important alarms and notifications:  Spring and autumn frost Soil freezing Average daily air temperature above certain value Average daily soil temperature above certain value Intensive rain Solar panel and battery cha

Meteobot® successfully answers the most frequently asked questions of farmers:  Has it rained in the field and how much? Is the field accessible with heavy machinery? When did it rain for the last time? Is the temperature appropriate for germination and emergence? Is there enough moisture for the plants to absorb nitrogen fertilizer? Is there any disease risk? Are the conditions optimal for blooming and pollination? Is it suitable to spray? – strong winds and high temperature make

The weather data from your field or orchard can be automatically transmitted to disease models, which can generate forecasts for plant disease risks. The models, used by Meteobot®, are dynamic. They take into account the current climatic conditions, phenological (plant development) stages, as well as the available pathogens, accumulated as a result of previous infection events, the resistance (or tolerance) to diseases of different crop varieties, the previous year crop and not at least the type and amount of the applied fertilizers. All of these make the disease forecasts as accurate as...
