Knowing which model to rely on for accurate weather forecasts can be a real headache. To make this choice easier and more efficient, Sencrop is providing you with a range of functions that allows you to benefit from the most reliable forecasts for your plots, and organise your planning and operations with peace of mind.
Weather forecasts are based on models (or algorithms) that take into account multiple parameters (atmospheric pressure, wind speed, temperature, etc.) to simulate weather conditions and project them into the near future.
To learn more about how weather forecasts work, head to this blog post.
There are different forecast models, the reliability of which depends on the phenomenon measured (temperature, rainfall, hygrometry and wind speed) as well as your location. Sencrop brings these models together in a single application and helps you define the most reliable forecasts for your plots! Discover the three new Sencrop features that will accompany you on a daily basis:
Here are 3 questions asked to Rémy, product manager at Sencrop, to give you a more detailed insight into our new features.
We are in regular contact with farmers to best understand their daily challenges and weather-related needs. This serves as the foundation for our ongoing enhancement initiatives for the Sencrop application. We engaged in extensive discussions regarding the reliability of weather forecasts and the challenges farmers face in determining which forecasts to place their trust in. We therefore looked for a solution to best overcome this problem and improve the daily lives of our users.
With these new features, two possibilities are available to you.
If you want to save time and find the most reliable forecasts for your plot in one click, you can use Sencrop Forecasts. This feature is there to simplify the consumption of forecasts.
However, if for example you have specific projects to plan, depending on particular weather parameters, you will be able to deepen your analysis of weather forecasts thanks to our forecast comparator and our classification of models. For example, in the event of a risk of frost, you can immediately identify the lowest temperatures envisaged by the different forecast models and thus minimise the danger for your crops.”
To identify the most reliable forecasts for each Sencrop user, we rely primarily on the weather stations on your plots. They allow us to compare model predictions with actual data observed in the field. By analysing how predictions correspond to observations, we can determine the most accurate and reliable model data for each user.
It is important to mention that our extensive network of 35,000 connected weather stations also plays a vital role. This network allows us to support and refine forecasts on a larger scale, taking into account geographic disparities.

BYDV risk runs on temperature from the day your crop emerges. How the 170 day-degree T-sum works, how to set a 150 alert in the Sencrop app, and which levers reduce the risk this autumn.
Potato late blight is the most feared fungal disease among potato growers. Without proper monitoring and treatment, yield losses can reach 80 to 100% of the harvest. Understanding the disease, knowing how to recognise it and anticipating its onset are now essential to securing your crops. What Is Potato Late
Nitrogen, fertilizers, pesticides: your inputs are expensive. Very expensive. And when heavy rain hits right after application, some of it can literally disappear beneath your feet. Leaching is an often underestimated phenomenon, but one that can have a direct impact on yield, treatment effectiveness… and your wallet. 💡 Good news: there
