Sencrop’s connected ag-weather stations are now available through Trimble and Vantage distribution networks in the UK and across the EU following the appointment of the French ag-tech start up as a Trimble select partner.
Sencrop reckons to have the only fully connected ag-weather ecosystem in Europe. Pairing this with Trimble solutions is claimed to offer significant benefits to farmers, providing them with access to real-time climatological data and field-specific weather condition data, such as temperature, wind speed, humidity and rainfall, from all affiliated weather stations directly from a smartphone or computer.
Claimed benefits include being able to make weather data-driven decisions that contribute to the determination of when to complete various field applications such as spraying, fertiliser spreading, planting and harvesting.
Sencrop strengthened its position as a leader in connected agricultural weather-data following the acquisition of sensor specialist VisioGreen five months ago. The French company intends to further increase its number of ag-weather stations and expand its collaborative network. It currently has more than 12,000 customers across Europe.
