Forecasting and Risk Analysis for Agriculture
Agrometeo is a platform providing decision support tools and information for better plant-protection management in agriculture. It is based on a network of almost 200 autonomous weather stations supplying microclimatic data used by various fungal disease and pest risk forecasting models. The map view on the home page takes you directly to the model results, which are additionally displayed in tabular or graphical format. Agrometeo also contains information on diseases and pests, phenology, grape ripening, plant protection products and their dosage based on leaf area, as well as a module for irrigation in orchards. All this information is made available to producers by Agroscope.
Agrometeo is an important tool for optimising plant protection and reducing the use of plant-protection products in line with the aims of the Swiss federal action plan on plant protection products. With it, Agroscope contributes to the ability of producers to produce in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
The website is available free of charge to all.
