Orchard & Vineyard Monitoring Systems

Use local weather and soil measurements to guide frost protection, irrigation, and crop management decisions across your orchard or vineyard.

Precise Microclimate Data for Crop Protection and Improved Yields

Monitor weather and soil conditions across your orchard or vineyard to make better-informed decisions about frost protection, irrigation, and crop management. Compare conditions across blocks, rows, elevations, and soil types to understand the differences that matter to your operation.

HOBO monitoring systems bring weather and soil records together so you can review trends and investigate changing conditions. Compatible weather station configurations can supply data to NEWA’s crop and pest management tools. Washington growers can also explore AgWeatherNet for weather information and decision support.

Extend your monitoring plan to storage environments when conditions after harvest are part of your operation.

Key Measurements for Orchard and Vineyard Monitoring

Temperature & Relative Humidity

Track temperature and humidity across growing areas to identify microclimate differences and monitor conditions associated with frost, heat, and disease risk.

Evapotranspiration

Use air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation measurements to calculate reference evapotranspiration in LI-COR Cloud and inform irrigation planning. Reference ET estimates atmospheric demand; it does not directly measure crop water use.

Rainfall

Record rainfall at your site and review it alongside soil moisture and crop water needs when planning irrigation.

Leaf Wetness

Measure wetness duration to provide context for disease-risk assessments and compatible crop models.

Wind

Record wind speed and direction to understand local weather conditions and support planning for field operations.

Light (Solar Radiation)

Measure incoming solar radiation to document growing conditions and provide an input for reference evapotranspiration calculations.

Water Level

Track water levels in irrigation reservoirs, wells, or other water sources to help assess supply availability over time.

Soil Moisture

Monitor soil moisture at selected locations and depths to evaluate how the soil responds to rainfall, irrigation, and drying.

Comprehensive Crop Monitoring—from Weather to Soil

Comprehensive Crop Monitoring—from Weather to Soil

Combine weather measurements with soil moisture and temperature records to understand conditions above and below ground across your orchard or vineyard.

A HOBO MicroRX RX2106 station includes an integrated HOBOnet wireless manager for connecting compatible wireless sensors. HOBOnet multi-depth soil moisture sensors are available in 45, 60, and 90 cm lengths to track conditions at multiple depths.

Review uploaded measurements in LI-COR Cloud and configure notifications for selected thresholds. Choose the station, sensors, power supply, and RX data plan to suit your site and monitoring objectives.
