Harness the power of plant science and AI models to steer your tomato crops towards desired outcomes.
Maximizing the yield of tomato crops means ensuring plants produce fruit for as long as possible. Steering plant growth efficiently to meet desired crop outcomes is more often than not a complex challenge for commercial growers. The concept of crop steering is based on the idea that plants have different growth requirements at different stages of development. By providing the right environmental factors - such as: temperature and humidity, irrigation, and light - at each stage, growers can ensure that their crops are able to maximize growth and yield potential.
FarmRoad, our crop management software, offers industry-leading tomato plant steering capabilities and provides the insight you need to steer your crop towards more vegetative, generative growth or balanced growth, as and when required. By optimizing plant growth, you can maximize yields and improve fruit quality, whilst minimizing resource use.
Crop steering is a set of actions taken over time to direct plants towards a target production goal. Steering the crop in this way enables harvested produce to match market demands – minimizing under- or over-production issues. Make informed, data-driven decisions and enhance your growing practices with a high level of confidence, ultimately maximizing your yield.
Stop relying on visual inspections or staff opinions. FarmRoad’s crop steering capabilities help lesser trained staff, wherever they are, to master the art of tomato crop steering, leading to greater efficiency and improved outcomes across all your production sites.
Elevate your tomato quality through improved plant steering and timely response to unexpected state changes. Uniform growth ensures consistent production quantity and quality, delighting customers, generating demand and increasing your profitability.
Understand the state of your tomato plants to positively impact harvest and profit margin without over-stressing your crops. Identify the environmental and biological data patterns leading up to yield swings, and adjust your growing environment to produce more with less impact.
FarmRoad delivers the insights you need. Harness plant science and AI models for high-value crops developed by our in-house agronomy experts and data scientists.
Get an objective measure to view the state of a plant. Using variety-specific crop knowledge, FarmRoad's Plant Balance displays a plant's vegetative or generative status. Regardless of knowledge or experience, you can steer the crop towards targeted outputs and respond to unexpected state changes quickly.
Automatically analyze the climate conditions across your farms and get insights into variety-optimal conditions, reducing the need for expert analysis. FarmRoad’s climate analysis lets you see at glance how much time is spent at optimal, below optimal and extreme levels, helping you prioritize areas for focus.
Our expert team of agronomy and data scientists is building advanced in-product steering capabilities crop by crop. Now available for tomato crops as part of our FarmRoad Optimize solution, soon for blueberries or other high-value crops. In the meantime, we closely work with our customers with crop-specific agronomy services.
