Berries.
Substrate precision and microclimate defense for delicate soft fruits.
Soft fruit operations operate on tight margins where a single humid morning can trigger devastating Botrytis outbreaks, and substrate water shifts impact brix in hours. Véraison gives growers unmatched microclimate control.
Substrate & Polytunnel Microclimate Intelligence
Soft fruit canopies and container substrates require continuous monitoring. Véraison nodes track tunnel temperature, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and substrate moisture, providing immediate mobile and desktop notifications to protect delicate skin bloom.
Autonomous Edge Sensing
Solar-powered and self-sustaining. Deployed directly into the canopy to measure relative humidity, leaf wetness, ambient temperature, and root-zone soil moisture without ongoing maintenance.
Real-Time Desktop Intelligence
Spatial moisture maps, temperature decay curves, and predictive pathogen alert windows delivered directly to your office on any laptop or phone.
Diseases and anomalies we catch early.
Foliar pathogens, weather extremes, and microclimate shifts happen at the canopy level. By sensing continuously in the field, Véraison gives you the foresight to intervene before damage occurs.
Botrytis Grey Mould
Spreads aggressively through dense berry canopies, turning firm fruit into soft, unmarketable rot within days.
Canopy leaf wetness duration + persistent relative humidity + ambient temperature
Powdery Mildew
Covers leaves and fruit in white fungal powder, stunting cane vigor and softening export-grade fruit.
Shaded canopy microclimate temperature + diurnal humidity fluctuations
Blossom Frost Damage
Blackens open flowers and newly set green berries, wiping out high-value early market picking windows.
In-row freezing temperatures + nocturnal cooling rate + dew point tracking
Heat Stress on Fruit Quality
Softens berry flesh, triggers sunscald bleaching, and dramatically reduces cold-storage holding capacity.
Solar radiation + canopy air temperature + substrate moisture extraction rate
