Agricultural Risk Management

Precision Farming is more than just GPS controlled harvesters. It also helps keeping track of pathogen development, optimize treatments to hit a disease dead on, warn of frost, and to produce as environmentally friendly as possible.

 

Precision Farming

Falling producer prices and rising costs of production are increasingly forcing agricultural businesses to optimize production costs. Therefore "precision farming", the selective use of inputs such as water, fertilizers or chemicals, is now indispensable in modern agriculture. The growing environmental awareness of consumers further accelerates this process. Adcon was one of the first companies to offer a tailor-made solution for improved agricultural risk management.

Why a wireless Adcon Station?

adcon_weather_station_sm

Because you don't want the Met Offices data from the next airfield. Or the city center. You want the data from your own fields, and from nowhere else. And because you don't need the data in the field, you need it on your desk. Every week, every day, in the morning, in the evening, no matter if the sun shines or a downpour converts the road into a mud hole. Don't write down those values! Don't download from some loggers! Don't copy, paste, export, convert and re-import! Have the data come to your desk exactly the way you want it, 24/7 !
