Agro-Met (Agricultural Meteorology) & Research involves the study and application of weather and climate data to improve agricultural practices. It focuses on understanding how environmental factors like temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind affect crop growth, soil health, and farm productivity. Agro-Met research combines meteorological science with agriculture to develop strategies for optimizing crop yield, reducing risks from climate variability, and enhancing resource management.
UTNT’s Agro-Met & Research solutions integrate weather data, climate forecasting, and agricultural modelling to provide actionable insights for farmers, researchers, and policymakers. This enables more informed decisions on planting, irrigation, pest management, and harvest timing, improving the resilience and productivity of farming operations.
Agro-meteorological is nothing but an advanced automatic weather station with or without soil profiling and having an enhanced number of parameters added to a standard AWS or chosen as per application requirements.
Agro-Met Monitoring and Research with UTNT
Agro-Met monitoring is vital for precision agriculture, helping farmers adapt to climate change, optimize resource usage, and mitigate risks from extreme weather events. By leveraging real-time weather data and advanced forecasting models, farmers can make proactive decisions that improve crop health and yield while reducing environmental impact.
Agro-meteorological is nothing but an advanced automatic weather station with or without soil profiling and having an enhanced number of parameters added to a standard AWS or chosen as per application requirements. An Agro-met monitoring system may typically require:
Soil Moisture
Soil Temperature
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
Leaf Wetness
Leaf and Bud Temperature Sensor
Net Radiometer
Infrared Radiometers
Oxygen/PAR/Chlorophyll and other meters
Other than Agro-met monitoring systems, there are several other parameters which help in understanding the crop growth, soil and crop health and advanced environmental parameters. Most of these measurements are done in both stationary continues or scheduled manual visit mode with the help of meters.
Key Parameters Tracked
Weather Conditions:
Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall.
Long-term climate forecasts for seasonal planning.
Soil Moisture:
Monitoring soil moisture content for effective irrigation planning.
Evapotranspiration Rates:
Analyzing how much water crops are losing through evaporation and transpiration.
