nowledge-based initiatives are quite simple and easy to use and increase the productivity of farming. Farmers who analyze field conditions for the Farmer’s Almanac prepare it according to climate and weather conditions. So, you do not need a smartphone, while bad surprises are eliminated. However, farmers using smartphones are also getting more detailed information.
Specific models designed for local weather in every agricultural climate, including information about soil quality and plant development, offer clues as to what is happening and what will happen in the field. By studying weather patterns from the past, present and future as well as the effects they have on farming, farmers can estimate the risks associated with decision making. Thus, farmers are able to remove the obstacles that block sustainability, profitability, efficiency and environmentally friendly food production .
“Nooli,” a new field sensor that is currently still in the trial stage, measures the temperature and humidity of the soil and air while measuring relative humidity as well. Using an algorithm in this scope, the sensor allows the farmer to water, fertilize and spray crops at the right time, thus allowing the farmers to reap the benefits of what they sow.
SMS text warnings
The SMS service www.tarla.io is an innovative concept and a early warning informational service specializing in plants and soil content. The service tracks the quality of fields across Turkey 24 hours a day, seven days a week, generating warnings and alarms for specific plant crops according to a portfolio. Thanks to the early warning system and alarm feature, farmers reduce the risks associated with the unknowns, save money and increase their productivity by taking the right steps to prevent mishaps that are sure to come from Mother Nature, also paving the way for farmers to turn their fields into major generators of profit.
Even if you are not a smartphone user, SMS messaging system allows you to receive notifications regarding weather forecasts, care suggestions related to your plants and crops, as well as natural disaster risk prevention and management (in case of ice, storms or heavy floods) in advance. With right moves at the right time, you adapt to the climate and increase your profit. This service’s monthly cost is less than TL10.
When should we use fertilizer?
It is critical for farmers to involved with the soil with the right timing. In knowledge-based agriculture, farmers can determine the timing of irrigation and fertilization in the field according to weather and soil conditions. The smartphone application Toros Gübre (Toros Fertilizers) at www.tarla.io helps farmers determine the opportune time for fertilization.
