The project provides for the division of research and development into three stages and two research teams cooperating with each other on an ongoing basis (a team of scientists from Warsaw University of Life Sciences and the selected team of MCMS Warka with farmers - start of the project and research spring 2021). In the first stage, it is planned to carry out scientific research and industrial work, analytical research, testing and verification for the purpose of research analysis and defining guidelines for future development works. Should do: - research allowing to determine the relationship between the frequency of data transmission and the time of battery supply, - experimental determination of data transmission range in field conditions, - development of a method allowing for the interpolation of air temperature measurement results in order to minimize the number of measurement points, - analyzes and calculations of the energy balance, determination of the maximum effective h

The main goal is to introduce a comprehensive form of frost prevention, which includes a specialist. a machine compatible with a modern IT system. It is a comprehensive method that guarantees non-point protection of plantations against frost, but introduces permanent plantation monitoring - a control and warning system, and informs and guides the team (tractor with operator or GPS system and heating device) during protection. In addition, it is a form of risk amortization of growers for which the intensity of frosts. the annual financial condition of the farm often depends. Described method of fighting frost. revolutionizing the cultivation process. It introduces a system of continuous monitoring, which leads to a reduction in physical expenditure, offers coordination of the entire area while suggesting variable values, and finally, it is a qualitative change in the fight against frost, the occurrence of which has so far been associated with the inevitable reduction of yields and harvests. It is also the introduction of ecological solutions. Previous anti-covenant. the tools were burdened with negative consequences for the ecosystem. The solution is also non-invasive for the plants themselves. Mobile heaters do not harm both the inflorescence and the entire plant. It is also a redefinition of plantation management. An effective form of counteraction makes spring frost. they are not decisive for the survival of the plantation and its profitability, which affects the entire cycle of works and investments.
