Through the partnership, Agritask customers will gain a seamless integration of METOS® systems and their data feeds, which will be optimized with all other data sources on the Agritask platform. METOS^® weather stations help farmers mitigate risks associated with extreme weather events and climate change shifts. The technology provides insights into soil and crop conditions, enabling resource-efficient practices. Data-driven decision-making helps better plan field activities such as when to seed or sow and when to irrigate, spray, and harvest.

The Agritask-METOS^® integration will address the diverse needs of Agritask users depending on their crops, farming locations, and associated weather patterns, seasons, and risks. In addition to real-time alerts about weather conditions like rainfall impacting a plot of crops, companies can enhance long-term planning with seasonal weather data and optimize irrigation with insights on soil moisture and evaporation rates. Companies can also protect crops and bolster their pest control mitigation with fewer chemicals and better timing thanks to weather data.

With improved irrigation practices and reduced chemicals, robust weather data not only leads to cost savings but more sustainable practices, ultimately having an overall positive impact on the environment and companies’ bottom lines. As food and beverage companies continue to address climate change issues and ESG commitments, crop supply data intelligence offers two-fold benefits and financial incentives.
