Sensors and Smart Technologies (SST) is participating in a major project that supports the development of Georgia’s agricultural sector!

​

With the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Rural Development Agency is creating a digital platform for agrometeorological services – GECSA (Georgia Climate Services for Agriculture). GECSA will provide farmers with climate-based recommendations, helping to promote climate-smart agriculture, increase crop yield and quality, and reduce costs.

​

As part of the project, SST has successfully programmed and installed the following for apple, grape, peach, wheat, and corn farms in Kakheti and Shida Kartli:

• 9 agrometeorological stations;

• 1 pheromone-based camera trap (iSCOUT).
   

The agrometeorological stations provide continuous, real-time data on:

• 3-7 and 14-day weather forecasts;

• 23 types of climate indicators.
   

The pheromone camera trap (iSCOUT) offers real-time/online access to:

• Alerts on pest emergence risks;

• Photos of identified pests;

• Live monitoring of pest types, their spread level, and population size.
   

All devices are produced by Metos by Pessl Instruments, SST’s Austrian partner company!
