At Sencrop, 2022 is starting with a wind of change full of new features! Let us show you around!
We took advantage of the summer to meet you and get your feedback. Until now, the Sencrop application has mainly allowed you to benefit from local weather data in real time. Our aim is for you to make the most of this data to help in your day-to-day decisions. This transformation has given rise to new features that are already available in the application, or will be in the coming months.
Kevin Guilbert, Product Manager at Sencrop, explains this new feature. 👇
I am responsible for the product team (i.e. the Sencrop application). My day-to-day job is to spend time with our customers to understand their problems, and with the designers and developers to provide solutions.
At Sencrop, our mission has always been to help all farmers with their day-to-day decision-making and crop risk management.
In 2022, you will be able to add your crops directly into Sencrop and use agronomic models to monitor growing stages, diseases, pests, treatments and irrigation. These models will be adapted to your crops (crop, sowing date, region, earliness...) and directly connected to your weather stations.
Farmers use the weather stations obviously to know the past/present/future climatic conditions in the field, but also and above all to identify risk periods (diseases, pests, water stress) and to plan interventions (sowing, treatment, harvesting).
The idea is to simplify the use of risk and intervention management: all you have to do is provide your crop for that site! Then, we will make these different indicators available to you, keeping the data entry and configuration to a minimum.
The challenge and difficulty is to provide quality models. To do this, we have developed two axes:
Our development ideas come from the research we do with our users, customers (questionnaires, interviews, demonstrations, exhibitions...).
For example, at the SITEVI 2021 the french agricultural show, we conducted more than 50 interviews with our customers to present prototypes and discuss Sencrop and the farming industry. We then adapt our prototypes according to the feedback and work with the designers and developers to propose the most user-friendly solution.
By the way, we would be more than happy to hear your feedback: feedback@sencrop.com (or kevin@sencrop.com)

Weather conditions and forecasts play a key role in every decision taken during the cultivation process. Are the conditions right for ploughing and sowing? Is there a risk of disease or pests? When should I spray to ensure maximum effectiveness and protection? When do my plants need to be irrigated?
Autumn is a crucial time for autumn cereals. As the cereals begin to grow, conditions are often favourable for weeds to emerge, which can compete strongly with existing crops. Along with diseases and pests, they are one of the biggest risks to crops. Weeds are still young and underdeveloped, which
Used to abnormally mild (and sometimes hot) temperatures, the United Kingdom had its coolest summer in 9 years. Find out more about the summer weather. Summer 2024 is the coolest in 9 years! According to official climate data, temperatures were cooler than normal, on average, over the three summers combined:
