Phytech is helping more than 650 of the world’s largest growers optimize their production by enabling them to monitor, plan and control their operations.

By being connected directly to their plants and irrigation infrastructure via a Plant-AI and IoT digital platform, farmers can optimize their irrigation, nutrition, and pest & disease management. Phytech offers a subscription-based model with hassle-free installation, maintenance, and full agronomic support.

Phyetch in numbers:

• Phytech currently monitors over 29 million trees
• Over 100k IoT devices
• In Washington: 8 out of 10 of the largest apple growers, accounting for 40% of the market, are powered by Phytech
• In California: 40% of the almond market are customers powered by Phytech
• In Israel: 90% of the avocado market are growers powered by Phytech

Sustainability impact:

• In California: Between 2019-2021 Phytech users used 25% less water each year compared to UC Davies recommendation
• In Australia: Phytech’s almond customers managed to save 80 billion liters in 2019 thanks to irrigating differently between varieties and based on real-time water demand.

Phytech offers Unique monitoring and automation capabilities combined with plant-agronomic knowledge. An A-Z digital IoT platform consisting of a Network of sensors and apps to help growers manage irrigation, nutrition, and pest & disease with:

• Tree/fruit-based irrigation management
• Irrigation system monitoring
• Automation - Close the loop from the crop to the drop
• Per block granular climate monitoring Temperature and humidity
• Farm management and planning tool (irrigation, nutrition, pest and disease)
• Coming soon: Ag-inputs As a Service:
  • Fertilizer delivery (Nutrition management)
  • Pheromones (Pest and Disease management)

Main capabilities and features:

• Plant-sensors (dendrometers) that measure micro-variations in stem diameter are being translated via an algorithm into plant status – real-time water demand.
• Fruit-sensors that measure real-time size and growth rate of fruits, which help growers obtain their desired fruit size – on the target date.
• Infrastructure monitoring sensors: Pond, filters, mainline, pressure switches at the end of each block.
• Satellite remote sensing.
• Combined soil moisture and tree monitoring
• Frost monitoring
• Wind machine monitoring
• 24/7 technical support
• Agronomic consultation
