TreeScout Camera

How It Works

The TreeScout camera enables tree-by-tree management of flower thinning, fruit set and growth regulation. The result: higher yields per hectare and a reduced environmental impact through more efficient use of crop protection products.

Smarter Seasonal Orchard Management

From pruning to harvest, TreeScout supports growers throughout the season with precise, actionable information :

• ‍Winter‍
  
  • Tree positioning
  • Root pruning based on the previous season's vigour maps
  • Pruning

• ‍Spring‍
  
  • Flower mapping
  • Tree-by-tree flower thinning
  • Fertilisation based on vigour maps
  • Fruit counting for accurate harvest forecasting

• ‍Summer‍
  
  • Vigour mapping for root pruning
  • Map validation
  • Start of harvest

• ‍Autumn‍
  
  • Final growth measurements
  • End of harvest
  • Vigour mapping
  • Start of pruning

Tree Positioning

The precise location of each tree enables the creation of prescription maps for individual tree treatments.

Fruit Load Management

Flower detection-based thinning.

Tree-by-tree flower maps enable targeted flower bud treatments.

Up to €3,000/ha in additional revenue from increased yield alone (validated by universities and growers), along with more uniform fruit size.

Vigour Management

A balanced vigour is essential for healthy trees and high fruit production.

Vigour maps support root pruning, chemical growth regulation and tree-by-tree fertilisation.

Harvest Forecasting

Plan labour, storage and sales more effectively, with fewer surprises.

Fruit counting provides an estimate of the expected yield for each orchard block.

Flower mapping reveals the orchard's yield potential as early as spring.
