How does DigiFarmz respond to climate conditions?
DigiFarmz receives weather data multiple times a day. This constant input is essential because both crops and pests (weeds, insects, and diseases) have their growth and development directly influenced by climate conditions. Weather impacts not only the productive potential of the plants but also the factors that can compromise them. The more precise the control programs are, the lower the sanitary impact on the crop.
Climate variability directly affects the success of a management program — from selecting the right products, determining the number of applications, spacing between them, the timing of the first application, and the moment when applications should end.
Based on weather conditions, DigiFarmz adjusts the primary disease focus and, consequently, the products to be used. Another critical factor is that, depending on the disease, there may be a predominant source of inoculum highly influenced by climate: rust and powdery mildew (wind), anthracnose (rain splash), and other diseases impacted by both rain and wind. As these disease pressures shift, it is essential that control programs adapt accordingly — something that only DigiFarmz delivers.
Extended droughts, prolonged rainfall, and extreme temperatures are examples of events that can trigger DigiFarmz to either conclude a program earlier or introduce major adjustments to the recommended strategies.
The key point is that, because DigiFarmz is updated daily with weather data, it can continually fine-tune its recommendations whenever climate conditions become extreme.
