Farmland Agriculture Weather Monitoring Station

NiuBoL Farmland Microclimate Weather Monitoring Station 

 Product Definition & Overview

The NiuBoL Farmland Microclimate Weather Monitoring Station is a high-precision monitoring system designed specifically for agricultural production and scientific research. It collects real-time microclimate parameters and soil environmental data within fields. The system integrates multiple sensors for air temperature & humidity, soil temperature & humidity, light intensity, wind speed & direction, and rainfall, helping farmers scientifically manage crop growth, optimize irrigation and fertilization schedules, prevent pests and diseases, and improve both yield and quality. 

It is suitable for open-field crops, greenhouses, orchards, ornamental flowers, and research institutions, providing reliable data for precision agriculture and intelligent irrigation. 

 Farmland Agriculture Weather Monitoring Station Monitoring Principles 

1. Air & Soil Temperature/Humidity Monitoring  

   High-sensitivity sensors collect air and soil temperature/humidity in real time. Soil sensors (NBL-S-TM or NBL-S-THR) measure soil dielectric constant to calculate true moisture content, unaffected by soil type, fertilizer, or metal ions, ensuring stable and accurate data. Air data helps analyze transpiration and pest/disease risk. 

2. Light Intensity Monitoring  

   Photosynthetic photon flux density (LUX or PAR) is measured to guide planting density, shading, or supplemental lighting decisions. 

3. Wind Speed & Direction Monitoring  

   High-precision mechanical or ultrasonic sensors track wind effects on lodging, leaf damage, and evaporation, supporting windbreak design and machinery scheduling. 

4. Rainfall Monitoring  

   The NBL-W-RS rain gauge records rainfall amount, intensity, and duration in real time, supporting automatic alerts and irrigation strategy adjustments. 

5. Data Acquisition & Transmission  

   Supports RS485, LoRa, 4G, and 5G communication. Data undergoes calibration, outlier filtering, and long-term storage for research and decision-making.

 System Structure & Measurement Methods 

The station consists of:

- Host Controller: Core unit for data acquisition, processing, storage, and communication  

- Air Sensor Module: Measures air temperature, humidity, and light intensity  

- Soil Sensor Module: Multi-point deployment for soil temperature, humidity, and moisture  

- Wind Speed & Direction Sensor  

- Rain Gauge: Tipping bucket or radar type  

- Power System: Solar panel + lithium battery for continuous operation  

- Communication Module: Enables remote monitoring, data upload, and alarms   

Measurement combines non-contact (air/light) and contact (soil probe insertion) methods. Soil sensors can remain buried long-term with real-time data transmission.

Farmland Agriculture Weather Monitoring Station Installation Standards & Methods

   - Mount wind sensor at ≥2× crop canopy height, clear of obstacles 

2. Soil Sensor Layout  

   - Open fields: 1 point per 1–2 hectares  

   - Orchards/greenhouses: 1 point per row or every 5–10 trees  

   - Insertion depth: 15–30 cm (root zone) 

3. Station Installation  

   - Secure host on concrete base or steel pole (windproof, lightning-proof, animal-proof)  

   - Orient light sensor skyward, align wind vane correctly 

4. Power & Communication  

   - Recommended: solar + lithium battery backup  

   - Test data upload stability 

5. Maintenance & Calibration  

   - Clean sensors quarterly  

   - Calibrate soil sensors every 6 months; inspect rain gauge annually

 Common Faults & Troubleshooting
