At Phytech, we’ve always believed the best technology is the kind you don’t have to think about—it just works. It listens before it speaks. And when it does, it helps you move through the day a little more efficiently, a little more confidently.

That’s the spirit behind our newest release, rolling out March 31st.

🌱 Introducing the AI Advisor for Area

After years of working side-by-side with growers, irrigators, and farm managers, we know the challenge: you’ve got dozens—sometimes hundreds—of blocks, and no easy way to see the big picture. Until now.

The new AI Advisor (for area and plot views) gives you a clear, concise summary of your plot or area's status, highlighting patterns, stress signals, and specific groupings (like variety-level trends).

Think of it as a situation or status report for your farm, in a simple and clear language.

Here below are few examples of how the Advisor generate a clear overall areas status:

📊 Reliable Reports, Built for the Field

Alongside the AI Advisor, we’re launching two updated reports

1. Pressure Report (New Version)

Understand pressure patterns from company level down to individual valves
Segment events by pressure ranges over any time window
Export everything to Excel for offline work

2. Plan vs. Actual Irrigation Report

Compare what was planned with what was actually done
See weekly snapshots (up to 3 weeks) at the company, block, or valve level
Get the data in tables or graphs—whatever fits your workflow best

These tools are already making things simpler for growers and agronomists who want more transparency between what they expect and what happens in the field.

💧 Manage Irrigation Directly from the Web App (Project “Planter”)

Finally, you can now plan, activate, edit, and manage irrigation events straight from the Plant web app—no back-and-forth, no spreadsheets.

It’s part of our effort to unite “Plant” and “Planner” into one app that just works. From scheduling to stopping to resuming irrigations, everything is in one place, designed for real-world flexibility.

Why This Matters

We know farming doesn’t happen in ideal conditions. No two blocks are the same, and your irrigation plan needs to reflect that. That’s why we’ve built every one of these tools to be grounded in your real data, not general models.

At the end of the day, our job is to give you better information—so you can make better decisions, faster.
