Turning information into better yield and profit

To ensure the best quality produce and the highest possible yield, plants need to be protected from harmful weather conditions already at an early stage, when they are still delicate and particularly prone to diseases. “We cannot change the weather, but we can turn it to our plants’ advantage and prevent major disasters”, - explains the Founder and CEO of Pessl Instruments Mr Gottfried Pessl, met during Fruit Logistica in Berlin.

For more than 33 years Pessl Instruments has been offering tools for informed decision-making.  Company produces and exports worldwide the agrometeorological monitoring systems known as the iMETOS®, that come together on the FieldClimate web platform and through free apps for smartphone.  A holistic solution supports farm management in many aspects – disease models based on weather station data can be calculated for more than 30 crops; localized weather forecast is combined with on-site measured data for higher precision while devices with soil moisture sensors and decision support systems (DSS) for irrigation management help optimize water use. On-site soil nutrient analysis solutions and electronic traps for insects monitoring are also a part of the holistic solution for decision/precision agriculture.

A complete range of wireless products under the METOS® brand, and an online platform FieldClimate are applicable in all climate zones and are widely used by farmers from around the globe.

“With more than 50.000 systems installed we offer complete solutions for decision agriculture. The farmer can start with small datalogger or sensor and later add other solutions for a smart farm. It works like a Lego. That is why our equipment is affordable even for small farmers starting from 3-5 ha”, - says Mr. Pessl.

In December 2017 Pessl Instruments GmbH has opened branch office in Poland. Pessl Instruments already has daughter companies in USA, Brazil, Ukraine, France, Spain, Turkey, South Africa, Portugal, France and does business in more than 80 countries.
