Prototipo de estación agrometeorológica de monitoreo de datos climatológicos

Abstract

One of the limitations in agricultural production in the State of Guerrero is the various events of meteorological disasters, with the case of recurrent drought, hurricane winds, high rainfall that cause floods and very high daytime temperatures that directly affect annual crops (corn, beans and sorghum) and perennials (mango, lemon, avocados). In the entity there is little accurate and timely agroclimatic information that serves as a determining factor in the decision-making process of production processes. The present study has the purpose of developing a prototype of low-cost agrometeorological station. The data can be monitored via the Internet 24 hours a day, from the climate variables, such as: environmental temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, solar and ultraviolet radiation, wind speed and direction. With the storage of these climatological data, information will be obtained that contributes to the prevention of diseases and pests in the cultivation of corn, fruit trees and vegetables of economic importance. Reason for which the National Institute of Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock Research and the Technological University of the North Region of Guerrero, are joining forces in the development of a prototype of agrometeorological station.
