Agriculture installed a new station Agricultural Information System in the area of ​​La Loma del Aire, Ojós (20/06/2015)

The Ministry of Agriculture and Water has installed a new station Agrarian Information System of Murcia (SIAM-imide) in the hamlet of La Loma del Aire, in the municipality of eyes.

This station measures the variables required by the UNE: wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and global radiation incident.

The station is scheduled for delivery schedule of the recorded values, so that has been included in 'Last time recorded' to facilitate monitoring time periods ephemeris and has a link for real-time data from page siam .imida.es.

The new station replaces that was installed in the forest nursery 'The Cajal', in the municipality, which was dismantled in December 2011 after suffering repeated vandalism.

Farmers in the area have been using in the meantime, the station located in the hamlet of Campotéjar (Molina de Segura), being of the three closest, which has a similar climate.

However, neither the needs of 'hours cold', or the 'guidance irrigation programs' for fruit crops in the area were in line with the actual weather conditions that now includes this new season.

45 stations

Murcia has been a pioneer in implementing an Agricultural Meteorological Station Network of the need to optimize the use of water for crop irrigation.

SIAM, founded in 1995, currently has 45 automatic stations installed in irrigated areas (mostly in private farms), that collect data on temperature, relative humidity, overall incident radiation, wind speed and direction, temperature point spray, vapor pressure deficit and precipitation.

From these data and coefficients for crops grown in the field, the SIAM facilitates irrigation and fertilization programs for varieties used in citrus crops, fruit and vegetable of the region, such as lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, apricot, peach, nectarine, almond, apple, pear, olives, grapes, artichokes, broccoli, lettuce, melon, pepper and tomato.

These programs are personalized, as it developed from the characteristics of farming and irrigation system for each user, providing the amount of water and fertilizer that must be provided, as well as the run time needed for days, weeks or months .

Other services

SIAM also has a section for the interpretation of the analysis of irrigation water and leaf, which is useful, since water can be in some elevated concentrations of salt ions holdings and should avoid the presence of salts in the area of root development.

The results provided by foliar analysis to assess the nutritional status of the crop and adjust fertilization programs.

Another section provides information on the major pests and crop diseases, and includes a weekly report with relevant developments prepared by the Plant Protection Service.

Moreover, reports of cold hours are useful for fruit growers, as predicted, based on the data of each farm output latency of the fruit, which is used to set the timing of treatments that regulate flowering.

Paragraph economic analysis assesses the impact of investments in upgrading and modernization of irrigation in each farm, as well as index calculation of efficiency of water per crop.

SIAM's website currently has 2,029 registered users from different countries, of which 1,957 belong to Spain.

By provinces, 90 percent are Murcia, three percent to Alicante, another three percent to Almeria and two percent to Madrid.

Moreover, the range of users has grown.

Besides farmers, there are also professionals in the renewable energy interested in meeting global radiation incident, or plant health, viewing the wind speed to choose the most appropriate time to carry out treatment sector.

The development of new technologies such as smartphones and tablets facilitates the entry of new users to the website of the SIAM.

For three years instantaneous data, or real time, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction and rainfall in 18 stations in the municipalities of Fuente Alamo, Blanca, Caravaca de la Cruz, Cieza, Calasparra offered, Cehegín, Jumilla, Puerto Lumbreras, Mazarrón, Mula, Molina de Segura, Murcia, San Javier (Santiago de la Ribera) and Torre Pacheco.
