Ecoman® Potato Late Blight Monitoring Station

Ecoman^® Potato Late Blight Monitoring Station integrates wireless transmission, remote real-time monitoring, late blight analysis, early warning and forecasting, information management system, geographic information system (GIS) and early warning transmission system. The whole system can help monitor, early diagnosis and scientific control of the late blight disease in potato. 

Late blight in Potato occurs only when the temperature remains at 7~25°C for more than 9 hours. If the temperature is lower than 0°C or higher than 33°C, the pathogen stops growing inside the host and resumes growth when the conditions are suitable.

 

 

☆ Introduction

 

This system integrates wireless transmission, remote real-time monitoring, late blight analysis, early warning and forecasting, information management system, geographic information system (GIS) and early warning transmission system. The whole system can help monitor, early diagnosis and scientific control of the late blight disease in potato. 

Monitoring and early warning system predicts the best time to begin chemical application, avoiding delay in control measures and overusage of harmful chemicals. This saves the cost on chemicals and labor and also improves yield and quality of Potato production.

 

 

☆ Technical Parameters

 

1. Automatic data collection:

●  It can access the national and international information available on potato late blight early monitoring system.

● Automatic analysis of potato late blight data, which is readily available to be checked anytime, anywhere.

● It shows the late blight infection curve and the microclimate data curve.

● This data showing the late blight disease development, statistics and comparisons, can be shared with relevant departments/agencies by web notifications/APP/WeChat official account, etc.

 

2. Data Acquisition and Storage module:
