Automatic Farmland Weather Station: Enhancing Melon Cultivation with Precision Ecological Monitoring

The Automatic Farmland Weather Station, an observation device specifically designed for the ecological environment of melon fields, integrates multiple element monitoring functions. It can accurately monitor meteorological data such as temperature and humidity inside and outside greenhouses, wind direction and speed, surface temperature, and soil temperature at a 5-centimeter depth. It can also real-time monitor soil fertility status, facilitating scientific planting.

With the help of IoT technology, various data collected by the observation station can be transmitted to the terminal platform in real-time. Growers can keep track of key information such as soil moisture content, nitrogen fertilizer, and potassium fertilizer content in the field at any time through a computer. This technological application has completely changed the traditional planting mode that relies on experience for judgment, making management links such as irrigation and fertilization more targeted. Growers no longer operate blindly but formulate management plans based on actual data, significantly improving planting efficiency.

The data collected by the observation station is synchronously transmitted to the meteorological service center. Staff combine real-time data with historical data and crop growth data to extract key indicators of meteorological services for different growth stages of crops, such as the low-temperature tolerance value during the seedling stage and the strong wind warning threshold during the flowering stage. Based on these indicators, meteorological service personnel can predict potential meteorological risks in advance. Before the arrival of special weather, they promptly prepare professional service materials and guide growers to take defensive measures, effectively reducing the impact of meteorological disasters on crop growth.

With the advancement of agricultural modernization, relevant departments have continued to add observation stations in major planting areas, forming an extensive monitoring network. By regularly releasing special service materials and production suggestions, they provide full-cycle technical support for growers. This model, which combines precision monitoring with scientific guidance, has directly increased the per-mu yield of melon fields and improved fruit quality, allowing growers to truly feel the practical benefits brought by technology.

To further improve service quality, staff continuously verify and revise meteorological service indicators for each growth period of crops through continuous experimental observations and disaster investigations, gradually improving the indicator system. The service platform built based on observation stations integrates scientific research, business, and service resources, cultivates professional talent teams, and provides more refined and professional meteorological services for agricultural production.
