Using the data taken with the Plantae Meteo Station the Plantae Agro team can estimate the cold hours and thermal integral of your field.
Cold Hours
The cold hours are related to the accumulation of hours during which the temperature has fallen below 7ºC. The sum of these allow the crop to come out from the winter rest period, each species and variety has specific needs for this to happen. Therefore, it is advisable to know the different needs in order to estimate the best dates for certain agronomic practices, such as pruning. It also provides information on potential frosts during the most critical periods of the cycle which allows you to prevent possible harvest losses.
Thermal Integral
The thermal integral (or heat summation) is an indicator of the warmth availability fo the development and maturity of the crops.It is based on a temperature, called threshold temperature o de cero vegetativo, por debajo de la cual no hay actividad vegetal. Ésta depende de la especie cultivada y del tipo de cultivo (leñoso, hortícola…). Por tanto, sirve para realizar una predicción del estado fenológico del cultivo y la fecha óptima de cosecha. Además, da información sobre los riesgos de plagas y enfermedades que pueda haber y se usa en el estudio de viabilidad de variedades.
La Estación Meteo Plantae recoge los datos de temperatura de tu finca. Las lecturas se ajustan a las condiciones del cliente: cultivo, necesidad de horas frío, fecha de acumulación, necesidad de calor… Puedes consultar toda esta información desde el Manager. Furthermore, the panel allows you to establish the phenological stage of the crop in each point of the graph to have a complete vision of your field's evolution.
