PNG Sesame

Une application agro-conseil pour PNG.

The app is an agricultural advisory system built to provide early warning and advisory to farmers for making their day-to-day crop management. The system uses numerical weather prediction outputs from the European Center for medium range weather forecast (ECMWF) with 10 days lead time, and from the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) with 3 days lead time. Forecasts for precipitation, temperature, humidity, potential evapotranspiration parameters that are essential for agriculture are shown. Users can get the forecasts for particular locations of the country. Based on those forecasts and the ideal conditions for the crops, crop advisories are shown. Crop activities, crop growth stages etc. are also disseminated.
