But do we really know what is happening in it? Are we able to harness the data and benefit from it? We spoke with Mr Branko Majeri\u010d who certainly can.<\/p><p>The story begins in Slovenia \u2013 the only country with \u201cLOVE\u201d in its name. Located in the middle of Europe, just south of Austria \u2013 we are visiting the Majeri\u010d farm on the Ptuj field, in the village of Mo\u0161kanjci.<br \/><span id=\"more-11755\"><\/span><br \/>The farm has a long tradition of growing field crops (wheat, corn, sunflower and rapeseed), cultivating white cabbage for fermentation and is one of the few farms growing Ptuj onion, known also as \u201cPtujski l\u00fck\u201d \u2013 the 200 years old indigenous variety of onion only grown in this part of Slovenia and only in a specific type of soil. It is the first garden crop in Slovenia to receive Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status and, given its rarity, extra effort is put into ensuring its best quality.<\/p><p>Mr Branko Majeri\u010d himself is a soil expert and pays a lot of attention to what is happening in his field, all with the help of an iMETOS station. The first thing he points out when we sit down is the main difference between crop growing and other types of farming: \u201cFarming usually follows the logic \u2018bigger is better\u2019. Bigger farm \u2013 better cows \u2013 more milk. With crop growing it\u2019s not like that because we are trying to look into what cannot be seen with a naked eye. Bigger field does not necessarily mean better produce. Better soil and smarter cultivation do. And crop growers, as the designated guardians of nature, don\u2019t always pay enough attention to it.\u201d<\/p><p>To help guard fertile land and to keep as much humus in the top layer they have been using the shallow \u201cno-till\u201d technique of land cultivation for 20 years now. The iMETOS station has been in regular use since 2011 and has shown an interesting insight into what is actually happening in the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0e78e8a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0e78e8a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9492648\" data-id=\"9492648\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e31502f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e31502f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cWith all the information it is easy to see and understand how water travels through the soil after rainfall, how the temperature in the ground and air changes, how the sun affects evapotranspiration and how all this will affect work in the field. All decisions \u2013 irrigation, spraying, harvesting; are based on the actual data on site, not some approximations from national weather stations far away from the field. \u201d he explains.<\/p><p>He places great importance on monitoring micro locations, especially in such a geographically diverse country as Slovenia. Various combinations of relief, hydrology and soil types make it impossible to generalize measured data from one location to the whole area.<\/p><p>\u201cMeasurements that I take on my field are only relevant for that specific field. I cannot use the data for my other pieces of land 10 or 20 kilometres from here because soil types differ so much.

It has been set up in 2011 as cooperation between International Atomic Agency Vienna, the University of Ljubljana, BASF Slovenia, Pessl Instruments and the Majeri\u010d farm.<\/p><p>The parameters being measured are air temperature, soil temperature on different depths, soil moisture, solar radiation and evapotranspiration and are used as a decision support system for more optimized work in the field.<\/p><p>\u201cThe information given by the national environment agency is not precise enough. They predict an approximate amount of rain, approximate crop coefficients, an estimated wind speed and solar radiation. This is not good enough. What we need is individual and precise information.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Having on site data means that you can do exactly what your field and crop need.<br \/>You can decide not to irrigate when everybody else thinks it\u2019s already time to do it and in doing so save valuable resources and money. You can decide whether or not it is good time for spraying (wind, rainfall and solar radiation) and again save resources by choosing the perfect spray window and more.<br \/><br \/>He concludes: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see how technology advances. People used to predict weather by looking this way and that way, judging by the amount of clouds and their colour. Now we don\u2019t have to do that anymore because we can have actual data anywhere and anytime we want. It\u2019s a shame that not more people are aware of the benefits. \u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4f0899 elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f4f0899\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/www.metos.global\/blog-news\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-arrow-alt-circle-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">BACK TO ALL BLOG ENTRIES<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monitor It, Save Resources and Grow Better Crops Your Field in the Palm of Your Hand A field \u2013 the main asset of every crop grower.
