In-Canopy Weather

  • The temperatures in your crop may vary widely from the nearest weather station, with a difference of up to 2℃. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7289347/) By using In-Canopy weather, the most accurate temperature and humidity data is available for precise degree day modeling.

  • Devices measure data every 15 minutes, and transmit data every 2 hours. When special events, like frost, dew, or high-temperature occur, more frequent updates allow you to know when these events start and end.

CV App

  • The CV App is $99USD/year.

  • The CV App includes device health, field views, pest heatmaps, degree day predictions and weather forecasts, plus the ability to view all raw data from your devices. Please contact us to learn more.

  • Yes! Other providers already leverage our API to display data from our devices. If your provider does not yet offer compatibility, you’re welcome to use our platform initially, and migrate your device management to an API at any time. Please contact us to learn more.
