Integrated Pest Management

Use Case: Getting to the root of the issue

Located in California's beautiful Livermore Valley, this historic boutique winery was built in 1889 and is still producing award-winning wines. To help use resources wisely and reduce the damage brought on by environmental conditions, they recently installed an EnviroMonitor system.

The system includes:

• 1 EnviroMonitor Gateway (6800)

• 1 GroWeather Sensor Suite (6820C)

• 4 EnviroMonitor Nodes (6810)

• 3 WatermarkTM Soil Moisture Sensors (6440)

• 1 Leaf Wetness Sensor (6420)

• 1 Temperature/Humidity Sensor (6830)

• 2 SentekTM Soil Moisture Probes

• 4 GemsTM Pressure Switches

• 1 Decagon/MeterTM Soil Moisture Sensor

• 1 AquacheckTM Soil Moisture Probe

Water is a precious resource in drought-stricken California. With pressure switches and soil moisture sensors, the grower knows when the irrigation system is on and runs it only long enough to penetrate the vines' roots. The Leaf Wetness and Temperature/Humidity Sensors give the team insights on conditions where the grapes are growing. With forecasted data in hand, they can take actions to reduce damage caused by frost, freezing conditions, and heat while tracking chill portions, growing degree days, ET, and much more.

With this installation, the team has the data they want and the ability to add additional Nodes and sensors when they’re ready.

The Fenestra Winery installation has been made publicly available for viewing on WeatherLink.com. Search for “Fenestra Winery” and click "bulletin" to view a selection of weather sensors.
