MiniMETOS SOIL MiniMETOS SOIL is a combination of sensors that measure soil temperature & Volumetric Water Content (VWC) (Pessl Instruments Soil moisture sensor) and soil moisture (Watermark sensors) permanently and in near real-time wherever you want on your course (Tees, Fairways, Greens…). The device provides you information about the exact amount of moisture and the soil temperature in

iMETOS SoilGuard

iMETOS iME SoilGuard T O S B l ue

iMETOS SoilGuard The new iMETOS SoilGuard solution is the perfect mobile tool for measuring soil moisture and temperature in turf grass, wherever you want/need and combine it with permanent readings and your own good feelings. Due to its portability and simplicity of use it enhances the efficiency, and helps to optimise work planning and water management. Once in place, it measures soil moisture right in the root zone. The readings are stored on the device and whenever needed - GuardMap the mobile app sends point data to Fieldclimate and within a few seconds data is visible for any other stakeholder. Together with the permanent readings and the mobile application and the spot readings from iMETOS SoilGuard you will get a complete picture of the golf course’s moisture profile, the temperature readings on the various points of the green in a form of a heat map for easier understanding and further decision-making.

K E Y F E A T U R E S: • easy to use, mobile and rapid measurements • easy-readable backlit display to see the values immediately

Using iMETOS SoilGuard

• provides up to 50,000 measurements, all with their specific GPS coordinates • has an ergonomic design with a telescoping tubular frame

Degree Days are used to predict insect life cycles, therefore used to target specific stages (larva, adult etc..) by insecticide treatments. Insects are exothermic (“coldblooded”) organisms, that means their development is influenced by the surrounding

For determination of species specific Degree Days, a minimum temperature is needed, at which the insect starts to develop at a so called “lower developmental threshold”, or baseline. The maximum temperature at which insects stop developing is called the “upper developmental threshold,” or cutoff. The lower and upper

Heat units, chilling units and heat portion accumulations can be used also for fruit thinning and alternance management in tree fruits. The information can also be used for planning insecticide applications or the use of biological control agents (f.e. Trichogramma applications) and for growth stages of cultivated plants (f.e. wheat, corn, sugarbeet, etc..). The tool may also be used to monitor the heating and cooling costs of buildings, while annual figures can be used for estimating future costs. More information can be found under en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_day.

The FieldClimate API is used by hundreds of 3rd party software clients in order to see

API IN T ERF AC E

API for Partners

METOS station data in their specific software solutions and platforms for various use cases. Device owners are also the owners of the captured data and thus get free API

The FieldClimate API is a HTTP/S web service where authenticated and authorized

access to their data hosted on the Pessl Instruments Cloud located in Graz (Austria).

web clients can retrieve METOS data and licensed services via JSON format. Updating device configurations is possible as well. The FieldClimate portal, the FieldClimate mobile apps and a data push to John Deere Operation Center are some prominent API example use cases. For stability reasons, the API is versioned. Two ways of user authorization are supported: a) HMAC access based on a private and public key pair often used for machine-tomachine integrations and b) OAuth 2.0 which requires FieldClimate client credentials for getting a temporary access token for your pre-registered app (contact api@metos.at).
