An Innovative Integrated Field Sensor system providing a precise farming tool to reduce production costs and water wastage.

Project description

Keeping a close eye on crops is important

Farmers need to monitor their crops to increase productivity and reduce production costs. But this can be a tough job if data recording and analysis are carried out manually. In this context, the EU-funded Stoock project will develop a self-sufficient solar-powered multisensory device in a stick-like shape that will allow farmers to collect and record several physical parameters, such as air temperature, soil moisture, air humidity, wind speed, solar radiation and rainfall. Based on Big Data, this innovative system will provide detailed advice on actions to improve the use of chemicals by predicting pests risk factors related to specific weather conditions.
