Pinova Meteo 
Agriculture weather station

Pinova Meteo is a reliable and robust weather station designed for agricultural production. The station automatically measures, stores, and transmits data. Users can access the data via computer and mobile devices.

The basic model of Pinova Meteo station includes:

1. Temperature and relative humidity sensor (RHT35)
2. Rain gauge (RG300)
3. Leaf moisture sensor (PLWS)
4. Software for PC – PinovaSoft (desktop and web application)
5. Software for mobile phones – PinovaMobile
6. Stand
7. Solar panel
8. Batteries

For disease models and SIM cards, it is necessary to pay an annual license.

The basic model of the device has all the necessary parameters for calculating plant disease models.

The agriculture weather station can be completely personalized by the customer and according to his needs he can choose which parameters he wants to measure:

1. Air Temperature (°C)
2. Relative air humidity (%)
3. Precipitation (mm/m²)
4. Leaf wetness (%)
5. Temperatures in the plant zone (°C)
6. Soil temperature (°C)
7. Wind speed (m/s)
8. Wind direction (0-360°)
9. Global Radiation (W/m²)
10. Photosynthetic activities (mol m-2s-1)
11. Air pressure (hPA)
12. Soil moisture (cb)
13. Dew Point (calculation) (°C)
14. Evapotranspiration (Eto) (calculation) (mm/m²)

Maximum number of sensors per station: 8

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The Pinova Meteo station is fully automated, eliminating the need for users to manually collect data. It operates using solar power during the day and switches to a battery at night, which charges throughout the day. The station collects data continuously every 10 minutes and transmits it via a GPRS connection (using M2M SIM cards) every 30 minutes or hourly, depending on your requirements. The data is sent to servers, and when users access the PinovaSoft application, it automatically retrieves, processes, stores, and displays the data in a clear and user-friendly format.

Why Choose the Pinova Meteo Station?

Agricultural production is heavily influenced by weather conditions, including factors like precipitation, temperature, wind, solar radiation, relative humidity, and soil moisture. This often leads to questions such as:

• • Is the current air temperature and relative humidity suitable for plant protection?
  • What was the minimum temperature recorded last night?
  • What is the current degree day accumulation?
  • When was the last rainfall, and how much precipitation occurred?
  • Did the rain affect the orchard or just the area around my home?
  • Can I safely bring machinery into the plantation considering recent precipitation?
  • How much precipitation has occurred in the past 30 days or throughout the current year?
  • Is the soil frozen, and if so, to what depth?
  • Is the wind too strong in the plantation for safe plant protection measures?
  • Has the wind affected pollination or was the relative humidity too low?
  • How long have the leaves been wet, and is there a risk of disease infection?
  • Based on current conditions, should I use a contact or systemic fungicide for plant infection?
  • What is the soil moisture level at a depth of 40 cm?
  • How deeply has precipitation penetrated the soil?
  • Do I need to irrigate, and if so, how much water should be applied?

The answers to these questions are crucial for planning and executing agricultural operations. Making the wrong decision can negatively impact the quality and quantity of the final product. By making informed decisions, you can operate more efficiently, saving raw materials, time, and energy, which leads to cost savings and reduces the environmental impact of agriculture.

WHO IS USING PINOVA METEO STATION?

Agriculture weather station is used by fruit growers, vine growers, vegetable growers, nursery growers and cereals producers , regardless of whether it is bio, integrated or conventional production. Disease models are of great help while planning plant protection.

Agricultural Faculties and Institutes without information on micro climate conditions would not be able to conduct their field research. Except for the purpose of researching the agrometeorological station and its data are of great help in the education of students.

Pesticide producers also need data on micro climatic parameters when testing their products and consulting their clients.

For private advisors and state advisory services, it is essential to have measured meteorological data, so they can issue warnings and advise their users when and with what to go in plant protection.
