Orchard Productivity
Never lose a fruit bin again… but there’s more
What if we told you we could track the locations and movements of your pick bin?
– Know where they are being stored
– Know which orchard is being harvested
– Know when and where that bin of fruit was picked from
– Know how long it took from harvest to packhouse
– Issues with fruit quality? No problem, tell us which bins and we can determine what trends exist between those bins to prevent issues in the future
– Pest issues picked up at pack out? Know where the problem is within the orchard for quick rectification
– Which areas are higher and lower performing? Knowing this information can assist in improving overall yields in the future
Determine the variability in your orchards productivity
Understanding the variability gives you the opportunity to lift productivity and get the best efficiency from your inputs.
How can i measure the variability?
We utilise our pick bin management tools for the most accurate representation of harvest variability, but we also use satellite imagery, and can transform your fruit scanning maps into a tool that’s easier to understand and overlay.
What are the reasons for my high and low yielding areas?
It could be anything! That’s why it’s important to understand and measure all factors.
Common reasons include differences in nutrients, soil moisture, soil type, wind, elevation, pests, temperature… the list goes on but we have a comprehensive approach to get the best results for you.
How can i decrease the variability in my crop?
By understanding what’s causing the problem in the first place, adjustments can be made. By using the correct input, at the correct location, at the correct time, you will see drastic improvements year on year as the variability is evened out and productivity lifted.
How do i make the most out of my resources?
By only applying what is needed, where it’s needed.
Less waste, less negative environmental impacts, and much more opportunity for growth.
We consider the big picture with all our recommendations, but every application is very specifically tailored for the best possible outcome.
With a greater understanding of all the factors affecting your productivity, the factors having the biggest impacts can be identified and used to the best advantage.
