Fighting frost is a challenge faced by farmers every year, particularly in the wine and fruit-growing sectors. Accurately anticipating the risk of frost is essential if we are to trigger our frost control measures at the right time, thereby protecting crops while keeping costs at an affordable rate.
Sencrop, a longstanding ally in frost protection
For many years, Sencrop has been a key ally for farmers in their fight against frost. Until now, our comprehensive solution has encompassed the Leafcrop, the connected Sencrop moisture sensor, and the Pro weather subscription. The Leafcrop emulates the natural attributes of a leaf, providing precise and reliable measurements of temperature, humidity, and moisture directly within your orchards or vineyards.
In addition, you have access to a range of functions on the Sencrop application to help you anticipate the risk of frost:
access real-time weather data from your station on your mobile app or computer, enabling you to monitor your fields, even from a distance.
weather forecasts (access to 7 forecast models and Sencrop weather forecasts) to help you anticipate future temperature drops.
the model comparator to identify forecast extremes at a glance.
use pre-set frost alerts or create personalized alerts to be notified of dropping temperatures, even in the middle of the night.
