Activities at the Gateway

  • Data Conversion Engine

– Performs data conversion into standard engineering units

  • Local Storage

– Weather data is stored into a sqlite database locally

  • Remote Storage

– Runs independent database storage module which parses sqlite

database and stores weather data remotely into RAS

– Creates and maintains connection to RAS using CDMA modem

LWI Based Advisory for Groundnut Leaf Spot

  • If the cumulative Leaf Wetness Index (LWI) for the past 7 days

exceeds 3.3, Fungicide administration is advised

  • Reference: Butler et al, 1994
  • Wetness Hours
  • Wetness Index

The Wetness Index is calculated in relation to the Wetness Hours accumulated for the whole day using the following

If (WH/day <= 20) { WI = WH/20; } else { WI = 4.5 – 0.175*WH; }

The Wetness Index is aggregated for the past 7 days
