Fercam 2019 with the presence of Plantae-Instalaciones in Castilla la Mancha

We go once again to the National Country Fair, Fercam 2019 , which is held in Manzanares- Ciudad Real , from July 3 to 7.

For the first time after 58 editions, the Government of Spain participates with activities in the food sector. It does not collaborate financially, because the budgets this year were not approved and in the previous ones it was not contemplated.

Objectives of the Fercam 2019 fair

It is a fair of the field and for the field. A modern fair that thinks about the future of agriculture, livestock, the agricultural industry, renewable energies, agri-food products and the automotive industry.

The fundamental objectives of this Fercam 2019 fair are:

• First of all, present the latest news in agriculture and livestock.
• Offer technical conferences.
• Promote various competitions such as "wine quality", "olive oil quality", "cheese quality" and "tractor handling".

Plantae at the Fercam 2019 fair

Our presence in Castilla la Mancha is very wide, visiting farms with a lot of products: pistachios, olive trees, vineyards, onions and walnut trees.

For this reason we have to be at this fair to collaborate in the modernization of agriculture and offer farmers the possibility of improving products in quantity and quality optimizing the use of water with humidity and temperature sensors / probes.

Plantae en los viñedos de Ciudad Real y Toledo

We install sensors in vineyards in the province of Ciudad Real. Humidity measurements are made at different depths and located at strategic points so that the farmer receives detailed information in real time on the humidity of the crop.
