Are you monitoring the right data? 🌦️ In Part III of our 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 – 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐓𝐨 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 series, we dive into the hidden impacts of relative humidity, leaf wetness, and wind conditions on crop disease pressure, spraying efficiency, and lodging risks. 🔍 How does humidity drive disease outbreaks in crops? 🌿 Why is site-specific monitoring crucial for protecting yields? 💨 How do wind speeds and gusts impact spraying and lodging risk? Understanding these microclimatic factors can make or break a season.

Pest management has evolved from traditional methods to advanced mathematical models that optimize crop protection. 🌿 The STELLA Horizon EU Project is taking this to the next level by developing a centralized pest surveillance system (PSS) for Europe and New Zealand, using bioclimatic models to combat invasive pests. 📖 Read more about the future of pest modeling and sustainable agriculture 🔗 https://bit.ly/STELLA-PSS #metosbypessl #STELLAproject #HorizonEU #HorizonEurope #PSS #PestSurveillanceSystem #pestmonitoring

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁. 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂. It isn’t spring - yet. But you taking action now, will save you a lot later. Late spring frost is a growing, costly threat to growers worldwide. Every season, millions are lost. But not necessarily because protection systems don’t exist or are inefficient. So 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 they fail? 1️⃣ Growers rely only on dry temperature, ignoring wet bulb temperature 2️⃣ Frost alarms are triggered too late, leading to unnecessary crop loss 3️⃣ Sensors are installed too high, missing real threats at crop level Using data that isn’t specific to your orchard, vineyard, or field can be devastating for your profit. It leads to mistimed actions, wasted resources, and ultimately, lost yield.

Our colleagues dr. Heiner Denzer and Víctor Zúñiga Burgos are participating in the 1st Annual Meeting of the STELLA Horizon EU Project at BOKU, Vienna. If yesterday was focused on discussions about the project’s progress and key developments, today they are exploring the upcoming activities and strategies that will help accelerate the implementation of new solutions. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐤? The project focuses on developing next-generation tools for early detection of quarantine pests and pathogens, ensuring safer and more sustainable agricultural practices across Europe. Because the risks of climate change and global trade are rising, the accurate and rapid pathogen detection is more critical than ever. Our common goal? To give farmers, researchers, and regulators reliable, real-time data for successful pest management. #pests #planthealth #quarantinepests #pathogendetection #HorizonEurope

In Part I of our 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 – 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐓𝐨 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 series, we discussed the critical role that localized weather data and precipitation play in effective farm management. In 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐈 we shift our focus to another crucial weather variable - temperature.🌡️ Temperature impacts frost risk, crop growth, disease pressure, and spraying efficiency. Without site-specific data, farmers risk yield loss, lower quality, and increased costs. 📖 Read now to learn more about the cost of spraying inefficiencies, frost damage and protection, dew point, and the importance of site-specific temperature 👇 https://lnkd.in/dxjEEYuF #metosbypessl #IoTSolutions #weathervariability #temperaturecontrol #frostprotection #dewpoint #sprayingsolutions

In the STELLA Horizon EU Project, Use Case Pilots (UCPs) are the bridge between research and real-world impact. Spanning across six diverse regions in Europe and New Zealand, these pilots test AI-driven pest monitoring and early warning systems in various crops—from vineyards in France to olive groves in Greece. The success of STELLA depends on its ability to deliver practical solutions that meet the needs of end-users, including farmers, foresters, policymakers, and researchers.

A few weeks back we had an honor to participate at Lindsay’s Dealer Meeting in Costa Rica, where we had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and discuss the future of agriculture and irrigation technology. It was inspiring to see how aligned we are in our vision: 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲｡ From our early beginnings, we’ve been dedicated to advancing agricultural technology. Now, as part of the Lindsay Corporation family, we are more motivated than ever to push boundaries and accelerate this evolution. Because the future of farming depends on intelligent, data-driven solutions. #Datadriven #SmartAg Gottfried Pessl
