Bringing agrometeorological stations down to size: the significance of hand-held weather stations

An agrometeorological station is a stationary weather observation instrument that stands in the field and does not move for long periods of time so that climatic conditions can be monitored over time, providing farmers with critical weather information. This information helps determine the best time to sow, irrigate and harvest, increasing crop yields. At the same time, long-term data helps to understand climate change and guide agricultural planning and environmental protection.

However, many situations require the use of a handheld agrometeorological station - a small, hand-held unit that is considerably 'smaller' than a stationary one, and which can be held in the hand. This miniaturisation brings several key benefits:

Portability: Because of its small size, it can easily be taken wherever it is needed, such as to a field or orchard.

Low cost: compared to large weather stations, handheld devices are cheaper, making them accessible to more farmers.

Suitable for education: as an educational tool, it makes agricultural education more intuitive, helps learners understand the impact of weather on planting through practice, and improves scientific planting awareness and skills.

FT-SQ5A is a handheld weather station suitable for agriculture, which can measure a variety of factors closely related to agriculture, such as temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, soil PH, rainfall, photosynthetically active radiation, carbon dioxide concentration, light and so on. The user interface of the device is simple and intuitive, easy for non-experts to quickly grasp and use. The built-in data logging function can save continuous meteorological data, the device may support USB transmission, which is convenient for users to import data into the computer for analysis, and the real-time display function allows users to view the measurement results and the status of the device at any time.

In short, FT-QX16 handheld weather station is a more ideal choice for outdoor agricultural weather monitoring and data collection to provide convenience.
