LoRATH
A simple weather stations for your farm
LoRATH weather station can be connected to any existing LoRaWAN® network, if present at your location. LoRATH measures air temperature, relative humidity, leaf wetness and soil moisture.
The unit is prepared to be mounted inside (tunnels, greenhouses, indoor applications) or outside in open fields (IP65). All the data is synchronized with FieldClimate.
Key benefits
By the use of crop evapotranspiration better plan the irrigation, save water, money and time.
Helps prevent animal health problems that occur in houses with nonstandard climatic conditions.
Plant disease model calculation to improve plant protection and prevent crop losses.
Work planning on farms – it saves time and makes farming even more efficient.

This is what you can do
- Plan the work week based on a localized weather forecast for your operations site.
- Plan your work day based on the actual rain and temperature data and the daily weather forecast for your field.
- Plan your spray program based on disease models and prediction and check the quality of spray work online.
- Plan your irrigation based on ET-crop and predicted plant water use.
- Bring data directly into your management software and Operations Center via automatic interface.
LoRATH connectivity
LoRATH is designed to be easily connected to an existing LoRaWAN® network. For remote situations without the availability of a commercially operated LoRaWAN® network Pessl Instruments partners will support you with a farm based LoRaWAN® network which enables you to install all available LoRa® sensors – from Pessl Instruments or other vendors.
LoRATH values
By using the proprietary intelligent sensor handling, the LoRATH provides values of:
- Leaf wetness for disease forecast,
- VPD and Delta T for defining best weather for spraying (spray window) and
- Dew point for frost prediction.
