GrowGuard Projects

GrowGuard sensors in an organic vegetable farm in Cluj.

This first project shows GrowGuard used directly inside a vegetable tunnel, where local readings matter more than a general weather average. Sensors were installed among tomato rows to help the growing team follow crop status, soil conditions, irrigation, fertilization and disease-risk context from one application.

Project case study

Useful data from the crop itself, not only from the forecast.

In an organic vegetable farm, decisions need to be precise. Too much water can create root-zone stress and disease pressure, too little water can slow growth, and fertilization needs to be read together with crop stage and soil behavior. GrowGuard helped the team keep those signals in one operational view, with sensors placed inside the crop and readings available from the app.

In a tomato tunnel, differences between rows, warmer zones, shaded areas or places where water remains longer in the soil can change the decision. Sensor placement matters because GrowGuard can connect readings to the real place in the crop, then place them next to history, forecast, alerts and reports.

01 Crop monitoring

Plant status read through data

Temperature, humidity, soil, EC, pH, battery and sensor status can be followed inside the app, together with useful history intervals.

02 Irrigation

Clearer checks after watering

Local readings help verify how water remains around the roots and where the crop may be under excess or deficit.

03 Fertilization

EC and pH in context

When sensors transmit EC and pH, GrowGuard can highlight local imbalances and support the conversation around active nutrition.

04 Forecast

Forecast beside real measurements

Forecast helps interpret cold nights, heat, persistent humidity, condensation and useful ventilation windows.

Phytosanitary v3 engines

Extended disease-risk alerts for mixed farms.

The latest GrowGuard update extends the predictive phytosanitary engine from one crop profile to multi-branch monitoring: floriculture, vegetable crops, fruit growing, viticulture, field crops and urban trees. For vegetable crops, the engine can track favorable windows for late blight/Phytophthora, Botrytis, powdery mildew, tomato early blight, local root stress and other useful signals.

multiple active crop branches;
branch-specific phenophase;
optional crop/species selection, including tomato, pepper, cucumber and cucurbits;
local sensor assistance, including leaf wetness when the payload provides it;
alert history and explanations for field scouting;
push and email notifications for relevant risk events.

These alerts are conservative decision-support signals. They do not prescribe treatments, doses or withholding periods; the user validates symptoms, crop stage, local guidance and product labels.
