In the village of Lemshveniera, Gardabani Municipality, smart technologies and sensors (SST) were used to install and configure an agro-meteorological station and sensor systems produced by the American company Davis Instruments in an 80 hectare almond orchard.

​

As part of the project, the following equipment was installed on the plot:

• Agro-meteorological station (Cabled Vantage Pro2 GroWeather);

• Leaf Wetness Sensor;

• Soil Moisture Sensor;

• Soil Temperature Sensor.
   

Thanks to the integrated sensors and smart systems, the farmer will have constant real-time access to soil and climate data, weather forecasts, and the risk of disease outbreaks specific to almond crops.

​

Based on the data collected from the sensor systems and agro-meteorological station, the farmer can:

• Make data-driven, accurate, and timely decisions;

• Plan agro-technical activities in the orchard in advance;

• Manage irrigation according to the condition of the soil and crop, which helps save water and energy;

• Receive timely alerts about the probability of specific disease outbreaks, apply treatments as needed, and reduce the risk of disease spread - ultimately minimizing pesticide use;

• Increase yield and improve product quality with lower costs
