How to anticipate the risk of frost with Sencrop?
Wet bulb temperature is the key measure to anticipate the risk of frost. Measure this temperature precisely with the Raincrop and Leafcrop connected weather stations and weather forecast models. On the app, the data is processed through different features to help you make the best decisions.
Frost alerts
Activate your pre-set frost alert or customise the parameters, based on the wet temperature collected by the stations. You will be notified by SMS, email or phone call of the risk of frost before it happens.

Live Wet Temperature
From the homepage, you can find the wet temperature of your weather station. It shows you in real time the weather conditions of your plot (updated every 15 minutes).
Minimum temperature maps
Keep an eye on the minimum temperatures around your plots and follow the occurrence of frost live. This feature is available in the "maps" tab of your application.
Weather stations to manage the frost risk
To measure the risk of frost, you need an accurate and complete weather solution, which includes a humidity sensor and a thermometer. As frost is very local, we advise you to have your own stations to install in the heart of your plots.

I consult the weather forecasts on the application to anticipate the risk of frost. I compare the models using the comparator, and 5 of them are forecasting a severe spell of white frost tonight.

I prepare my antifreeze device and activate my frost alert so that it wakes me up as soon as the wet temperature drops to 1°C.
20H
I consult the map to see the minimum temperatures: they are dropping below 1°C in the early morning. My fears are confirmed.

The alarm goes off! I woke up, activated my anti-freeze device and went about my night with a sound peace of mind. This year, I acted at the right time to avoid losing my crop.
