SST has successfully installed nMETOS 200 agro-meteorological stations (Metos by Pessl Instruments) in organic vineyards across Guria and Kakheti, and fully configured their software systems.

Now, vineyard managers receive critical agronomic data in real time, allowing them to plan every key aspect of vineyard management proactively. They have instant access to:

• Localized weather forecasts for 3, 7, and 14 days;

• 23 types of climatic parameters - including temperature, humidity, precipitation, leaf wetness, Dew Point, VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit), Delta T and more;

• Risk alerts for 12 major grapevine diseases - such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, botrytis, and others.

 

Why is this crucial for organic production?

In organic vineyards, where the use of chemical treatments is strictly limited, every decision must be based on accurate and timely information. Smart agro-meteorological stations empower vineyard owners to:

• Detect disease risks at an early stage;

• Plan preventive actions and fieldwork in advance;

• Minimize the use of protective products and apply them only when truly necessary;

• Protect both the yield and the soil from excessive interventions;

• Maintain stable and high-quality harvests - even under challenging climatic conditions.
