How Agricultural Weather Stations Benefit Tea Plantations

In a tea plantation base, there is an Agricultural Weather Stations for the tea garden microclimate. Composed of devices such as cameras, digital displays, and smart agricultural monitoring sensors, it serves as the "smart brain" of the tea garden.

The core, Agricultural Weather Stations, can simultaneously monitor various environmental elements including wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, light intensity, PM2.5, PM10, and negative oxygen ions in the air. In the daily management of the tea garden, the camera captures the growth details of tea trees, the digital display presents data, and the sensors collect meteorological information, providing comprehensive and timely first - hand information for tea farmers and facilitating the precise and scientific management of the tea garden.

In the past, tea planting faced many challenges. For example, there were floods during the rainy season, pests and diseases on tea trees. Moreover, young people had a low willingness to participate in agricultural work, resulting in a shortage of labor during the busy farming season. However, after the introduction of smart agricultural devices such as the multi - functional weather station by TianYi, the situation has greatly improved. The intelligent weather station automatically monitors the meteorology of the tea garden, enabling standardized management. Its data provides crucial decision - making basis for the scientific management of the tea garden and the prevention and control of pests and diseases, effectively solving problems related to quality and efficiency and promoting an increase in tea production and income. The farm owner anticipates that the annual tea production of the tea garden will increase from 12 tons to 18 tons next year.

During the tea - planting process, common meteorological disasters have a significant impact on the growth of tea trees. During a drought, long - term scarce precipitation leads to a lack of soil moisture, hindering the growth and development of tea trees and reducing the yield and quality of tea. The intelligent weather station can monitor soil moisture and air humidity in real - time. When the humidity is lower than the appropriate range, it will remind tea farmers to carry out drought - resistance operations such as irrigation.

Flood disasters pose a threat to the survival of tea trees. Excessive rainfall during the rainy season can cause waterlogging, which makes the roots of tea trees lack oxygen and rot, affecting their growth and even leading to death. The intelligent weather station monitors rainfall and waterlogging conditions in the tea garden in real - time and issues early warnings, giving tea farmers time to prepare for drainage and waterlogging prevention to protect the safety of tea trees.

Freeze damage cannot be ignored either. During the low - temperature season, especially in extreme weather such as the late spring cold snap, tea trees are vulnerable to freeze damage, with new shoots and tender leaves being damaged, seriously affecting the quality and yield of tea. The intelligent weather station can monitor temperature changes in real - time. When the temperature approaches or drops below the critical freezing value, it will quickly remind tea farmers to take anti - freezing measures such as covering and smoking.

Gale disasters can also cause losses to the tea garden. In strong wind weather, the branches and leaves of tea trees may be damaged, affecting their growth and yield. The intelligent weather station monitors wind direction and wind speed in real - time. When the wind speed exceeds the tolerance range, it will issue a wind damage warning. Tea farmers can reinforce tea trees and set up wind - proof barriers in advance for protection.

With its comprehensive monitoring functions and timely warning capabilities, the Agricultural Weather Stations for the tea garden microclimate plays a crucial role in dealing with meteorological disasters in tea production, ensuring the healthy growth of tea trees, and promoting the development of the tea industry.
