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.
At TAU, we offer flexible pricing to suit every grower's needs. Our subscription plans come with an upfront cost for hardware,

Recently, we conducted a trial with Matakana Persimmon's to address specific drainage issues. We installed a comprehensive suite of sensors, including weather monitoring, four soil moisture and EC sensors, and a leaf wetness sensor. These sensors were strategically placed in different performing blocks to gather detailed data. Our focus is on understanding and improving the drainage conditions to enhance overall crop health and yield along with optimizing irrigation and fertilization strategies while managing disease risk.
