The Chilean Fruit Development Foundation has just added three new stations to its agro-climate monitoring network.
The foundation’s technical manger Ricardo Adonis said: “The demands of different markets and the emergence of new, dynamic fruit-exporting countries have made competitiveness the rallying cry of all Chilean fruit producers.
“And this is where agro-climate information plays a key role, as it is a tool that enables growers to adopt new ways of managing production.”
The agro-climatic monitoring network consists of weather stations located on different farms, with sensors that measure the main meteorological variables that influence the crop. The collected data is processed to give information on a range of factors, including the development of pests and thermal oscillation.
