North Dakota's agriculture ranks first in the country's crop production: durum wheat and spring wheat, barley, sunflower, flax and all edible beans rank first, oats and all wheat rank second, potatoes third, and rye and beet rank fourth.In order for these crops to continue to rank, we have to continue to produce high-quality crops,Although attacks by disease, insects and other hostile factors are unpredictable.

Although there are controversies about the environment, pesticide application is the main tool for farmers to control crop diseases and insect pests.Scientists have identified key weather conditions that control the development of certain organisms and have written programs to simulate or simulate this relationship.By using the current weather data as input. Computer models can accurately track the development stages of specific diseases or organisms.Based on this information, farmers know whether and when to spray pesticides, thereby minimizing potential health and litigation problems caused by spray drift, which are always of concern when using pesticides.

Our standard weather station uses  hmp60 sensors to measure air temperature and relative humidity, met one 014a and 024a sensors to measure wind speed and wind direction, li-cor's li200x pyranometer to measure solar radiation, young 52202 tipping bucket rain gauge to measure rainfall, and a ptb210 sensor to measure air pressure.

Voice modems provide real-time weather data (wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation since midnight).These data help farmers decide whether to meet the appropriate statutory weather conditions for ground or aerial pesticide spraying.

Seasonal sensors are installed at multiple stations to monitor specific parameters. Additional hmp60 was used to measure temperature and relative humidity under the crown (one foot above the ground) of the mature beet. Solar radiation is an important parameter to calculate crop potential evapotranspiration (PET).Pet is used to calculate daily and weekly crop water consumption, which helps farmers decide when and how much to irrigate.
