IMT300USW - iMETOS® 3.3 Weather Station

What tech does/benefit:
The IMT300USW is the most comprehensive station we manufacture with the ability to add many more sensors as required. The station has 6 standard sensors as listed above that then allows us to calculate the added outputs such as Delta-T for spray conditions to Chill Units for different tree crops. The leaf wetness sensor on the station is a key sensor to calculate our many disease models of which we cover over 45 different crops and 80+ diseases.

Sensors:
Rain Gauge, Air Temp, RH, Leaf Wetness, Ultrasonic Wind Speed/Direction, Solar Radiation

Calculated outputs:
Delta-T, Dewpoint, Vapour Pressure Deficit, Sunshine Duration, Chill Units, GDD

Connectivity: 4G/LTE
Installation: Grower install or professional installation
SIM card: $120/Year
Annual subscription: $300/Year for access to FieldClimate App and Platform

EP100G-08 - EnviroPro - 80cm Soil Moisture Probe (Moisture, Temperature & EC)

What tech does:
The Enviropro soil moisture probe is a world leading capacitance probe manufactured in Adelaide, SA and is a high quality probe with 10cm increments reporting Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature & Soil EC.

Connectivity: 4G/LTE or NBIOT
Installation: Grower install possible generally professional installation required
SIM card: N/A (sensor joined to a telemetry unit)
Annual subscription: N/A (sensor joined to a telemetry unit)

ISC-PH - iMetos iScout® PHEROMONE

What tech does/benefit:
The iScout (Pheromone) is an infield camera that is designed to photograph & calculate target insects that are attracted to a Pheromone lure applied to a sticky plate similar to a manual Delta Trap. The insects land on the sticky plate and are then photographed and kept in a running tally to show insect flights to allow for better insecticide sprays

Connectivity: 4G/LTE
Installation: Grower install or professional installation
SIM card: $200/Year
Annual subscription: $300/Year for access to FieldClimate App and Platform

IMW30 - iMetos CropVIEW® DUAL

What tech does:
The Cropview camera is designed to allow 3 photographs per day of a growing crop to be able to show growth phases and it is also used to size fruit in an orchard. The main use is apples for fruit sizing but has been used in other crops as well. The photos are stored in the cloud and the user is able to run time lapse videos as the season progresses.

Connectivity: 4G/LTE
Installation: Grower install or professional installation
SIM card: $200/Year
Annual subscription: $300/Year for access to FieldClimate App and Platform

MMETOS-SOIL-N - μMETOS® Soil Base (NB-IoT)

What tech does:
The uMetos Soil Base is a stand-alone telemetry unit that can joined to a soil moisture probe to read soil moisture. The uMetos Base can have no sensors joined other than a moisture probe up to many sensors as the grower sees the value in sensors such as rain gauges joined to a probe station to show rainfall to irrigation events.

Connectivity: NBIOT/ CatM1
Installation: Grower install or professional installation
SIM card: $60/Year
Annual subscription: $300/Year for access to FieldClimate App and Platform

IMETEO - Weather Forecast + work planning & animal production

What tech does:
The Weather Forecasting tool is provided by Meteo Blue and is to the GPS of the station. The weather forecasting has many powerful tools in the model that help with daily growing decisions. Standard features such as 14 Day forecast, 7 Day Hourly Forecast, 7 Day Wind Animation, Spray Conditions, Radar, ETo.

Annual subscription: $300/Year per station per username linked to FieldClimate App and Platform

DISEASEPACK - Annual Disease Model Licence

What tech does/benefits:
Metos have developed disease model algorithms based on environmental parameters collected from the growers cloud-connected weather stations linked to the biology and the life cycle of over 80 different diseases to predict their development and progression in more than 45 different crops. This is allowing growers to be more in tune with their fungicide & insecticide application timing which is critical to get the best results of the chemistry. Issues with resistance is also driving this application as timing dramatically improves the effectiveness of the applications.

Annual subscription: $180/Year per crop per username linked to FieldClimate App and Platform
