The XV system scans every tree in your operation — capturing bud counts, fruit counts, fruit sizes, and tree vigor at centimetre-level resolution. The figures below show what that per-tree data is worth across your variety blocks and four highest-impact management decisions this season.

Block ROI
ROI by use case — all blocks combined
Crop load management—
Per-tree bud counts, fruit counts and sizes guide both pruning crews and hand thinners to every tree that needs attention — and away from those that don't. Better crop load means better fruit size and better pack-out across every variety block.

Spray thinning—
Flower cluster counts and fruitlet sizing guide variable-rate PGR application. Fruit Set estimations determine if green thinning is needed and how hard to go.

Fertilizer & inputs—
Vigor and custom metric maps such as fruit count/vigor identify where inputs are wasted and where trees are under-supported. Shapefile exports feed directly into VRA equipment.
