Agrométéo Québec: Pour de meilleures décisions agricoles

Описание: Agrométéo Québec est un site internet développé par Agriculture et agroalimentaire Canada. C’est un outil taillé sur mesure pour aider les producteurs et les conseillers agricoles du Québec à améliorer l’efficience et l’efficacité des décisions de gestion agricole -- que ce soit au niveau de la phytoprotection, de la gestion des intrants, des pesticides ou des éléments nutritifs. Renseignez-vous sur cet outil incontournable.

Transcription vidéo complète:

Gaétan Bourgeois: Over the years, we’ve developed a wide range of systems, and they’ve been incorporated into a software called CIPRA – It’s the French acronym, but translates as “Computer Centre for Agricultural Pest Forecasting” It was decided that AgWeather Quebec is an ideal format to keep those models alive and to share them in an effective way.
René Audet: AgWeather Quebec is a website that disseminates weather information. The website is designed specifically for agriculture.
It contains data, information and decision support tools to help producers and agricultural advisors with better farm management whether it’s for crop protection, management of impacts, pesticide application, or production of nutritious foods.
Gaétan Bourgeois: AgWeather Quebec incorporates a number of bioclimatic models. They essentially allow us to make links between climate and the development of insects the development of diseases or the development of crops—like predicting crop flowering and maturity date.
Luc Bérubé: AgWeather Quebec is useful. There is a lot of information you can get from the site. In fact, AgWeather Quebec has become an indispensable tool for us in our daily work. It’s relatively simple for almost any user: if you know how to use a computer and a mouse and are used to going onto the Web it’s pretty easy to find your way around the site and the various sources of information.
René Audet: A mobile app is also available. The app doesn’t have all the products from the site, but it does have features that are great to have on hand when you’re in the field and have to make decisions.
Gaétan Bourgeois: We started slowly, with a few models for apples and a couple of models for carrots, and with four weather stations. Now we have 150 or so models for 25 different crops. Through AgWeather Quebec, we have access to weather data from 325 different weathers stations across Eastern Canada.
Luc Bérubé: We’re noticing that weather events and variations in temperature and precipitation are very localized. So because of the size of the network, and the number of stations that are on the AgWeather Quebec site, we can see those variations and differences. If there was just one station covering a big area, say 100 square kilometres, we’d be very far from having an accurate picture of the ways things really are.
René Audet: We’re always in the process of developing other tools. We want to add another 30 or so between now and 2019 and we also want to improve the weather forecasts. We’re working with Environment Canada to provide short-term weather forecasts so that we can get better accuracy.
Gaétan Bourgeois: With the CIPRA software, we were able to collaborate with a number of people. So whether the purpose is research, development or technology transfer there is something here for everyone, because the weather affects us all.
