OverviewAs a seasonal monitoring tool, Vigor and Disease Mapping uncovers growth patterns and hidden risks early on, giving you the lead time you need to act with confidence.
Key capabilities- Tree-level vigor mapping
- Accurate vigor index score (better than NDVI)
- Disease recognition through rigorous data collection and AI model training
- Anomaly detection alerts
- Evaluate damage using preview images and reduce treatment downtime
Enhance crop protection with Viewer- A per-tree index of vegetative mass
- Based on canopy volume, density, and growth patterns
- Correlates with tree health, nutrient uptake, and productivity
- Facilitates zone-specific management and early stress detection
Disease mapping details- Uses AI and high-resolution imagery to scan every tree
- Identifies infection zones for targeted treatment
- Rigorous data collection combined with farmer assistance results in tailored AI models
- Helps prevent spread and disease outbreaks
- Supports timely, data-driven plant protection decisions
Understanding the complexities- There are no “silver bullets” against crop enemies; digital solutions should not interfere with field-proven pest management practices
- Agronomic expertise and farmers’ experience are the bedrocks of healthy crops; humans remain part of decision-making
- Symptoms cross-validation by experts is a must
AI-powered technology- Image recognition analyses trees, leaves, and fruits faster and more frequently than typical human inspections
- Millions of field images are used to train AI models for anomaly detection
- Using data collected from specific fields of interest increases detection performance
Designed for fruit growers- Viewer scans the visible outer part of the canopy for all types of fruit trees; ideal for 2D-style training systems
- Using lighting systems during hours with low sunlight intensity yields clearer imaging
- Frequent scanning generates more training data for field-specific AI models
Technical specifications- Per-tree vigor index (vegetative mass)
- Vigor index computed from canopy volume, canopy density, and growth patterns
- Vigor index claimed to outperform NDVI
- Disease detection via AI models trained on millions of field images
- Anomaly detection and alerting capability
- Infection zone identification to enable targeted treatments
- Supports preview-image based damage evaluation to reduce treatment downtime
- Designed for 2D canopy scanning and suitable for all types of fruit trees
- Requires agronomic expert cross-validation and integrates farmer-assisted data collection for tailored models
- Intended to support zone-specific management and early stress detection
