Tea Production in the Era of Agricultural Weather Stations

In modern tea production, the application of technology is becoming increasingly important, especially in the field of tea meteorological services.

(I) Technology Empowers Tea Production

Tea meteorological services empower tea production through technological means to ensure the quality and yield of tea. For example, building a tea meteorological three - dimensional monitoring and intelligent observation system. By setting up small tea garden climate stations that monitor meteorological elements such as temperature, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation, soil temperature and humidity, as well as real - time monitoring of tea growth and pest occurrence through real - scene monitoring equipment, it provides a solid foundation for the healthy development of tea.

During the tea picking period, refined meteorological services are provided to tea farmers. The configuration includes hourly and weather trend forecasts, with short - term warning accurate to one hour, ensuring the quality and efficiency of tea.

Tea climate quality certification is also carried out. A certification model is established, using quality certification models such as ecological environment index, climate suitability index, tea quality index and meteorological disaster impact index to enhance the added value and competitiveness of tea.

Meanwhile, demonstration sites for rural revitalization meteorological services are created. Negative ion monitoring stations are built in tea estates, intelligent meteorological science popularization paths for tea production are established, and tea gardens with meteorological cultural themes are created, providing scientific data support for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, tea meteorological services, ecological tourism services and green development.

(II) Agricultural Weather Stations

Agricultural weather stations are automatic meteorological observation equipment specifically designed for monitoring the agricultural environment. They can provide real - time and accurate meteorological data. It is an unmanned weather multi - element automatic monitoring system developed using a variety of technologies such as Internet of Things technology, wireless communication and sensors. It can achieve unmanned weather monitoring and wirelessly transmit the monitoring data to the cloud management platform.

Its main functions include:

Real - time and accurate meteorological data monitoring. Agricultural weather stations can monitor meteorological elements such as temperature, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation, soil temperature and humidity in real time, providing accurate meteorological data support for tea growth.

Unattended weather monitoring. Using a variety of technologies such as Internet of Things technology, wireless communication and sensors, unmanned weather monitoring is achieved, and the monitoring data is wirelessly transmitted to the cloud management platform to improve efficiency.

Improve the quality and yield of crops. By monitoring the changes in field meteorology, agricultural growers can understand the climate change of the planting environment and make targeted agricultural adjustments, thus improving the quality and yield of crops.

Meteorological disaster warning. Agricultural weather stations can sense the approaching of bad weather such as heavy rain, strong winds and low - temperature freezing in advance, and quickly issue warning information to farmers through SMS, network platforms and other means, reducing losses.

In general, the application of technology in tea production, especially the setting of agricultural weather stations, provides strong support for the high - quality development of the tea industry. Through real - time monitoring and early warning systems, tea producers can better respond to climate change, improve the quality and yield of tea, thus promoting the sustainable development of the entire tea industry.
