Frost at blossom
An alarm on the wet-bulb temperature warns you early enough to start sprinkling or your wind machines.

Pears: from frost to fruit growth.
In pear growing every moment counts: frost at blossom, disease pressure during the season and the growth of the fruit. With your own data instead of model data from somewhere else.

What matters with pears
Scab and other diseases
With leaf wetness, temperature and rainfall you feed disease models such as RIMpro with data from your own plot. Do you use the pear psylla model from pcfruit? On request from pcfruit and with your approval, we can forward your data for this model.
Fruit growth
With fruit diameter or trunk diameter you follow growth and see the effect of weather and water.
Drought and irrigation
Soil moisture shows whether you are getting water where the roots are.
What you measure
This is what you see on your phone
All measurements are in the same app and the same portal, with alarms you set yourself.
- Wet-bulb temperature for frost alarm
- Leaf wetness at the top and bottom of the tree
- Temperature, humidity, rainfall
- Soil moisture at three depths
- Fruit diameter and trunk diameter (optional)

Extra measuring points
SoilSense adds a soil measuring point in a second spot, for example in another block.
This is a starting point. We are happy to look together at what suits your business, and prepare a tailored proposal.
