ALL-IN-ONE DESIGN WITH WITH ADD-ON ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORS

The KestrelMet 6000 is an all-in-one station with a one-click ordering experience. You no longer have to rely on regional meteorological measurements to manage your systems, schedules, or software. Instead, with site-specific information based on your specific crop, soil, and field conditions, you can improve agricultural management decisions to maximize efficiency and yields while reducing waste and costs. The KestrelMet 6000 AG measures your onsite farm conditions and provides you with the exact data needed to make the right decision at the right time saving you time, resources, and unnecessary expenses.

Optional sensors available:

Leaf Wetness: The leaf wetness sensor determines the amount of time a leaf’s surface is wet and dry. Perfect for vineyards and orchards, this sensor is key in managing irrigation and protecting plants from fungal diseases early on.

Solar Irradiance: The solar irradiance sensor helps optimize plant growth and crop placement strategy.

Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor: Choose to add the soil sensor array and monitor precise soil measurements at three different depths.
