Frost during early blossom
Get a call as soon as the wet-bulb temperature reaches the limit you set. Then you have time to step in.

Cherries and apricots: know early when frost is coming.
Cherries and apricots blossom early and are therefore extra sensitive to frost. An alarm on the wet-bulb temperature warns you in time, so you can take measures before the damage is done.

What matters with cherries and apricots
Rain around ripening
Rainfall on your own plot shows what actually fell, instead of a rain measurement from kilometres away.
Weather per plot
Temperature, humidity and wind differ by location. Measure them where your orchard is.
What you measure
This is what you see on your phone
All measurements are in the same app and the same portal, with alarms you set yourself.
- Wet-bulb temperature for frost alarm
- Rainfall
- Temperature and humidity
- Wind (with Pro or optional)

How to set it up for cherries and apricots
- 1
Basis: weather station
A Basic Weather, Fruit or Pro station with the wet-bulb sensor.
- 2
Get a call
The night frost alarm calls up to 5 numbers at once, so someone always picks up.
- 3
Extra measuring point
Add SoilSense Frost as an extra measuring point for night frost in a second spot.
This is a starting point. We are happy to look together at what suits your business, and prepare a tailored proposal.

Why wet-bulb temperature for a frost alarm?
A blossom can freeze before the air temperature drops below zero. The wet-bulb temperature therefore gives you an earlier warning.
How am I warned?
You get a call, up to 5 numbers at once. You set the wet-bulb temperature at which the alarm goes off yourself.
