Tracking fruit growth can provide you with a wealth of information to act on. With Phytech, you can set a target fruit size and ideal harvest date, then keep tabs on whether your trees are keeping pace.

Any stress during this period can directly affect final kernel weight and overall yield. The goal is to keep trees as stress-free as possible heading into the heat of summer.

A dendrometer is an agronomic device that attaches to a tree trunk, branch, or stem to measure microscopic changes in its diameter.

Fruit sensors are advanced agricultural tools that measure the growth of individual fruits in real-time. These sensors attach directly to the fruit and collect precise data on expansion rates, helping growers track development over time without invasive methods. 

With increasing pressure to conserve water, reduce energy costs, and optimize yields, growers need real-time control over every drop. By combining precision irrigation technology, hydraulic monitoring, and remote control capabilities, Phytech empowers growers to make smarter, data-driven irrigation decisions, all from a mobile device or desktop.

Every tree has a story, and if you know how to read it, you can make smarter decisions for your farm. Trees respond to their environment daily, subtly expanding and contracting as they take up and release water. 

Making small adjustments over the next few months will be essential to helping your orchard reach its full potential.
