Research by Phytech’s Agronomic Research Department, led by Ido Gardi, PhD, Head of Agronomic Research. Across California citrus, the difference between productive water stress and simply leaving trees thirsty can be surprisingly narrow. For this analysis, we looked at 697 citrus blocks across 41 growers, combining direct trunk and fruit measurements with metered irrigation data from August 15 through September 26. The result is a real-time view of how the trees themselves ar

This year’s smaller crop did not surprise everyone. On Phytech blocks, trunk growth flattened in the first week of June as the developing crop pulled the tree’s energy away from growth — an early, block-by-block sign of how hard each tree was working to fill. Growers watching those curves had the whole summer to act on it, steering water block by block as each tree showed how it was balancing its crop, instead of managing to a single number or waiting on the scale. In a seaso

At Fresh Produce Group’s 275-hectare table grape operation in Mildura, irrigation management means dealing with very different soils, elevations and growing conditions. For Regional Table Grape Manager Daniel Grobler, connecting plant data, hydraulics and automation in one platform has changed how the team manages the vineyard every day. Located alongside the Murray River, Mildura and the wider Sunraysia region are home to some of Australia’s most significant horticultural pr

Three updates across the platform this August 24 release: Soil profile now reads each depth against its own saturation line, on web and, for the first time, on mobile. Overview timeline shows how much water each irrigation event applied, not just the daily total. Daisy panel gets a full visual redesign on web and mobile. Feature 1 · Soil Profile — Web See how full every depth is The soil profile now shows each depth against its own saturation line, so you can see how full eve

This month's release expands Daisy's capabilities and introduces several new features across Mobile, Planter, Frost, and the API. New in Daisy Daisy now proactively recommends whether to increase, decrease, or maintain irrigation for every project and explains the reasoning behind each recommendation. You can now: View irrigation recommendations across an entire area See project-level recommendations with detailed explanations Switch seamlessly between agronomic and hydraulic

Our June 21 Release Update is live with strong improvements across Daisy AI, the plant and planner apps Highlights Daisy Hydraulic Monitoring now detects pressure and flow issues automatically, helping irrigators identify leaks, blockages, and pump problems earlier. Hydraulics adds Water EC sensor support, bringing water quality into the same monitoring experience as pressure and flow. Hydraulic Components List now includes filtering by active alerts, component type, and sear

As hull split approaches across California almond orchards, irrigation decisions become some of the most consequential choices of the season. In this edition of AlmondBeat, Ziv Attia, Head of Agronomy, shares insights drawn from real-time data collected from millions of monitored trees across California, combined with more than a decade of working alongside growers throughout the Central Valley. If you grow almonds in California, you already know what regulated deficit irriga

Across California citrus this June, orchards are moving through one of the most important sizing windows of the season, Stage II fruit development, when cell enlargement drives final fruit size after the earlier cell division phase has set the potential. At this point, fruit growth is accelerating. ET demand is climbing fast. In many blocks, the difference between steady sizing and stalled growth comes down to how stress is avoided through heat events and irrigation gaps. M

Our June 1 Release Update is live with strong improvements across Daisy AI, the plant and planner apps Highlights: Daisy Hydraulic gets even smarter: Voice capability on mobile Suggested follow-up questions for deeper investigation and easier interaction in the field Plot List: Custom Order Growers can now organize plots based on the real physical order in the field — on both web and mobile. Planner Web & Mobile Users can now skip valves, groups, or pumps inside irrigation te

Harvest may be over — but the next season has already begun. The weeks following harvest are some of the most important for setting up a strong bloom, canopy development, and orchard performance for next season. Yet, post-harvest irrigation decisions are often among the most challenging choices growers make. Read the full AlmondBeat Australia 2026 post harvest analysis by Heino Malan, National Business Development Manager Why post-harvest matters After harvest, almond trees a

Our upcoming product release update (April 13) is one day away, with the following highlights: Daisy Hydraulic 2.0 New Improvements: Expanded Hydraulic Summary Enhanced Chat Interaction Irrigation Planning data on Chat Span Completion Between “Twin” Valves Planner Web & Mobile (Planter) New Capabilities: Kc Irrigation Kc Template Pump Selection: - Single / Per Valve Delete Irrigations by Date Range Ready?

Our big Release Update (March 16) is live, and the highlight is a major step forward for Daisy. We’re launching Daisy Hydraulic 2.0 - a significant upgrade to our hydraulic AI capabilities. For users, this means: Smarter hydraulic summaries that prioritize the valves that need attention first One-click navigation from alerts directly to the valve investigation A much more powerful Daisy chat, capable of answering deeper operational questions based on irrigation events, pressu

Western U.S. growers are about to enter one of the season’s first critical decision points: When to start irrigating? US Head of Agronomy Ziv Attia, PhD has clear, practical guidance on grounding that decision in plant and soil signals - not the calendar. Well said Ziv! "Irrigation should be a biological decision not a social one", says US Head of Agronomy Ziv Attia, PhD , as temperatures begin to rise across California and ET projections trend upward, irrigation season fe

We are excited to introduce a major update: High-Resolution Satellite Imaging in Phytech , released as part of Feb. 23 product update together with: New report: Insights Pests GDD (Western USA) Add Climate Station Name to Current Weather Widget Check out the full release: High-Resolution Satellite Imaging in Phytech What’s new High-Resolution Satellite Imaging is now available inside the Phytech platform as a separate add-on feature — giving growers near-daily, high-clarity

Introducing High-Resolution Satellite Imaging in Phytech Field issues rarely announce themselves clearly. By the time irrigation irregularities, leaks, or uneven crop development are visible from the ground, yield or quality may already be affected. Walking the field shows symptoms. Satellite imaging shows patterns. From Detection to Action “Early detection changes everything,” says Tal Shilo, Product Manager at Phytech. “When growers can see variability within blocks at 10x1

We're happy to share a significant research paper published in Agricultural Water Management, featuring vital contributions from our very own head of Agronomic Research Ido Gardi here at Phytech. For decades, the industry has often relied on "reactive" irrigation - applying water only after trees signal stress. This new multi-year study, which monitored 91 almond fields across California, suggests a paradigm shift is needed: Proactive Water Budgeting. Key Takeaways from the R

In today’s version, we are excited to introduce a major update: the full integration of the Planner app within the Plant app. Please note that the standalone Planner app will continue to function as usual until further notice. We highly recommend watching this video, with a full walkthrough and explanation. Key Highlights: Agronomic vs. Hydraulic modes: A new toggle on the top bar allows users to switch between Hydraulic and Agronomic modes. This affects the three main pages

We’re constantly improving our app to make everyday work clearer, faster, and more connected — so you can spend less time managing tools and more time growing your business. The new Planner web app is another major step in that "unified" vision. One app to rule the farm :) The new Planner is fully integrated into Phytech’s unique agronomic data layers on the area and block levels. "The new Planner app creates one workspace for irrigation and farm managers, agronomists or advi
