WHAT WE OFFER


1. Weather Monitoring


Growing Degree Days (GDD) and Chill Hours

Discover how our Foundational Insights plan can simplify your farming routine. Using satellite data, this plan continuously monitors plant water uptake, saving you time and labor. It tracks Growing Degree Days (GDD) and chill hours, helping you pinpoint the best times for planting and harvesting. Our Powdery Mildew Index also guides you on when to apply fungicides to prevent disease and keep your plants healthy. This all-in-one approach cuts down on manual work, saves resources, and improves your farm's efficiency.

Real-Time Evapotranspiration (ET) Data

Automatically monitor plant water uptake. This information helps you adjust irrigation precisely, reducing water wastage and ensuring your plants receive exactly what they need and when they need it. This method significantly reduces water wastage and can enhance water-use efficiency by 20-30%.

2. Soil Moisture & Nutrient Analytics


Soil Moisture and Electrical Conductivity (EC) Monitoring

Our technology optimizes irrigation and fertilization by using field capacity and stress line thresholds in soil moisture and user-defined boundaries of Electrical Conductivity (EC) data. This precision approach controls stress levels, promoting both vegetative and generative growth, which enhances the development of flowers and fruits. Using soil moisture sensors can significantly reduce water wastage and can further enhance water-use efficiency by 20-50%.

Timely Flushing Scheduling

Our system recommends the timing of flushing—a critical process that eliminates excess salts when a low water deficit aligns with high EC levels. This timely intervention restores nutrient balance and ensures healthy plant growth by effectively washing away accumulated salts from the root zone.

3. Disease Management


Fruit Rot (Colletotrichum acutatum), Grey mold (Botrytis cinerea), and Powdery Mildew Risk Indices

Our system improves disease management by providing early detection and insights, allowing growers to act before significant damage occurs. By using our disease risk indices to detect early signs of Anthracnose, Grey mold, and Powdery Mildew growers can promptly apply fungicides, optimize spraying schedules, and adopt practices like enhancing air circulation and maintaining field hygiene.

Using Preventative Measures

Stay ahead of potential fungal outbreaks with our system's early warnings based on real-time conditions and the likelihood of disease, enabling you to take preventative actions without the need for constant manual monitoring.

Exploring Success: Our Pilot Study and Customer Insights

Kaipaki Berries


We are collaborating closely with Kaipaki Berries, one of our key customers, after rigorously testing the reliability and functionality of our technology. Together, we are focusing on utilizing cost-effective sensors to replace manual practices, concentrating on disease risk management, moisture, and Electrical Conductivity (EC) monitoring. These innovations are critical for Kaipaki Berries as they transition to more automated solutions to enhance operational efficiency and agricultural productivity.


Our Pilot Study


In partnership with SGNZ, Berryworld, and a leading strawberry grower, we are conducting a 10-month Pilot Study to prove specific irrigation and fertigation strategies, demonstrating the benefits of continuous monitoring. This study aims to quantify how ongoing monitoring can boost yield and minimize disease risks.
