Applications
One measurement, four operating environments
The sensor does the same thing in every setting: it records the potential between a living plant and the soil it stands in. What changes is the decision that reading supports.
Segment 01
Wildland urban interface
Where housing meets unmanaged vegetation, the conditions that drive ignition are local and change quickly. Weather stations are sparse and sited in the open.
44 million US homes stand where wildland meets development. Fire danger there is priced and managed from weather measured elsewhere. Continuous under-canopy measurement aims to close that gap where the exposure is highest.
Continuous readings from beneath the canopy
Conditions at the specific stand rather than interpolated across a region
Threshold alerts through an API
Segment 02
Utility corridors
Network operators carry the consequences of vegetation condition along thousands of line kilometres, and make shutdown and clearance decisions on limited local information.
Utilities decide about shutoffs, vegetation work and inspection priorities from weather models and periodic surveys. We are testing whether tree-level measurement can give those decisions a ground truth.
Vegetation condition along the corridor
Input to inspection and clearance prioritisation
Evidence for wildfire mitigation planning
Segment 03
Viticulture
Vine water status varies across a single block, and irrigation decisions are usually made from soil probes or from experience rather than from the plant.
Demonstration systems are running in working vineyards — continuous water-status measurement at the vine, read from the plant itself.
Plant-side measurement rather than soil-side inference
Block-level variation made visible
Continuous record across the season

Segment 04
Orchards and nuts
Permanent crops represent years of investment, and water is the input growers control most directly and understand least precisely.
Permanent crops carry high value per hectare and long replacement cycles. Plant-level water-status data aims to inform irrigation and stress management.
Tree-level water status across the planting
Irrigation timing on measured condition
A record that carries from season to season

Field trial partners
Every environment on this page needs deployments alongside reference sampling before the data can be trusted operationally. If you manage land, a corridor or a planting and would host a trial, we will bring the hardware.
