In the Imereti region, SST installed an agro-meteorological station and irrigation monitoring sensors in an 80-hectare blueberry orchard. The project was implemented in two phases:

​

Phase 1: Based on the crop's specific requirements, SST's agro-experts selected the appropriate types and quantities of weather stations and sensors.
Phase 2: The systems were installed on-site, followed by software setup and configuration.

​

With these systems, the farmer can monitor real-time climate and soil parameters and make data-driven decisions.

Using irrigation monitoring sensors, the farmer can determine/ensure:

• The amount of moisture available to the plants in the soil;

• The soil's water content level, salinity (EC), and temperature control;

• The required water amount for the optimal growth and development of the plants;

• The proper timing and frequency of irrigation;

• The efficient use of fertilizers and pesticides.
   

Through the agro-meteorological station, the farmer continuously receives information on:

• 3-7 and 14-day weather forecasts;

• 23 types of climate-related data;

• Disease risks affecting blueberries;

• And more.
   

The integration of these systems enables the farmer to reduce risks and crop losses, use water, energy, and other resources more efficiently, and achieve higher-quality yields with lower costs.
