Your expertise. A clearer view of the field.
Bring measurements into your daily observations to understand changing conditions and manage each plot according to your crop and production goals.
Everyday value
Make each visit more productive.
Arrive in the field knowing what has changed and where to look first.
Reduce the need to extrapolate.
Complement your observations with measurements taken over time at monitored locations.
Refine decisions plot by plot.
Adapt each decision to the plot, the crop and the result you are aiming for.
Understand water in the context of the crop.
Water availability
Follow moisture conditions at measured depths and bring those observations into your understanding of the field.
Irrigation decisions
Combine measurements, direct crop observation and production goals to refine the timing of interventions.
Water quality
Beyond availability, BRAD is exploring how information about irrigation-water quality could enrich the understanding of growing conditions.
Precision that serves the quality you want to produce.
Production goals differ between plots, crops and markets. Irrigation decisions can be connected to grape variety, ripening and the intended wine style.
Viticulture
Plot-specific work around the intended wine style.

Measurements add another perspective. Walking the field, observing the plant and understanding the soil remain essential parts of the decision.
Ask questions. Add what you observe.
- « What has changed since my last visit? »
- « Which measurements explain this alert? »
- « I can see signs of stress here. What do the measurements show? »
