The Kestrel 3550AG Spraying Weather Meter is a top-tier, USA-made weather meter designed specifically for the agricultural industry, enabling farmers and applicators to accurately assess crop spraying conditions and ensure effective, safe applications. Whether you're measuring wind speed, temperature, humidity, wind chill, or Delta-T, this meter helps you make informed decisions for optimal spraying. The Kestrel 3550AG also provides Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for seamless data logging, record-keeping, and drift management in real-time.
Key Features:
-
Comprehensive Weather Measurements: The Kestrel 3550AG provides critical weather data including wind speed, current wind speed, average wind speed, maximum wind gusts, temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind chill, heat stress index, dew point temperature, wet bulb temperature (psychrometric), altitude (barometric), and temperature-humidity index (THI). This information is essential for assessing spraying conditions and ensuring safety during pesticide, herbicide, or fungicide applications.
-
Delta-T for Crop Spraying: Delta-T is a vital factor for determining optimal crop spraying conditions. This feature helps applicators assess whether the environmental conditions are suitable for effective spraying and minimizing the risk of drift. By factoring in temperature and humidity, the Kestrel 3550AG ensures you stay within safe spraying guidelines and select the best nozzle for the job.
-
Bluetooth Connectivity: The Kestrel 3550AG comes with Bluetooth technology, enabling you to sync data with your mobile device or other compatible apps. This makes it easy to record and timestamp weather data, keeping track of environmental conditions throughout your spraying activities and simplifying your record-keeping process for compliance and reporting.
-
Drift Management: With real-time data on wind speed and Delta-T, the Kestrel 3550AG helps you manage drift during crop spraying. By understanding wind conditions and humidity, you can adjust your spraying technique to reduce off-target drift, protecting nearby crops, waterways, and sensitive areas.
-
Waterproof & Floats: Designed to withstand tough outdoor conditions, the Kestrel 3550AG is waterproof and floats if dropped in water, making it an ideal tool for spraying in variable weather conditions, on boats, or in wet environments.
-
Built to Last – Made in the USA: The Kestrel 3550AG is designed and built in the USA to provide durability, accuracy, and reliability. It’s the trusted choice for professionals in agriculture, including those working in the field or handling crop spraying operations.
-
Customer Satisfaction: Rated 5.00 out of 5 stars from 4 reviews, the Kestrel 3550AG is highly regarded for its accuracy, ease of use, and reliability in field conditions. Customers appreciate how the meter aids in crop spraying and drift management, with one customer stating it’s helped keep their sprays on target and another praising its Bluetooth features for record-keeping.
-
5-Year Manufacturer's Warranty: The Kestrel 3550AG comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring you receive a long-lasting, high-quality product you can rely on for years to come.
-
Easy to Use: With a user-friendly interface and three-button operation, the Kestrel 3550AG makes it easy to gather the weather data you need, whether you're working on a farm, ranch, or in the field.
-
Certificate of Conformity: Each Kestrel 3500 includes a certificate of conformity, confirming that it meets high standards of quality and provides precise, accurate measurements.
-
Data Hold Mode: The Hold Mode is helpful for capturing measurements when you're unable to view the display in real-time.
-
High-contrast monochrome LCD display: Easily readable in direct sunlight.
-
User-Replaceable Impeller: Every Kestrel Impeller is tested at high and low speeds. The impeller is easily replaced if needed.
-
Slip-On Protective Cover: Keep your Kestrel protected when not in use with a hard cover that simply slides up the lanyard and over the Kestrel.

Notes: | * The NRC THI equation is defined as: *THI = (1.8 X Tdb +32) – [(.55 - .0055 X RH) X (1.8 X Tdb-26)] (National Research Council, 1971) where Tdb is dry bulb temperature in °C and RH is relative humidity expressed as a %. This is the equation referenced by Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural affairs; Journal of Dairy Science; and the University of Arizona. The YOUSEF THI equation is defined as: THI = Tdb + (0.36 × Tdp) + 41.2 (Yousef, 1985) where Tdb is dry bulb temperature in °C and Tdp is dew point temperature in °C. This is the equation referenced by Dairy Australia, University of Missouri, and USDA. |
