Tree fruit and nuts

You work too hard—and invest too much—for uncertainty to eat into your margins. In high-value orchards, we understand getting every input right isn’t optional. A single misstep in timing or stress response can mean wasted labor, lost fruit, or reduced quality. That’s why METER delivers trusted, research-grade data designed to drive real ROI. Our rugged, low-maintenance sensors give you consistent, accurate insights across your blocks—no calibration drift, no sensor-to-sensor variability, no wasted time second-guessing. And with ZENTRA Cloud, you can monitor plant stress, track temperature, and optimize spray timing remotely—cutting unnecessary field visits and helping your team work smarter, not harder. More clarity. Less waste. Maximum return.

Complete irrigation decision-making pkg

Protect yield. Reduce waste. Make every drop count. In high-value orchards, over- or under-watering doesn’t just impact tree health—it costs you yield, labor, and inputs. Precision irrigation starts with a complete understanding of the soil–plant–atmosphere system. METER combines volumetric water content, water potential, salinity, and localized weather data into one simple, powerful system. With these insights, you can confidently decide when to irrigate, how much to apply, and how to prevent nutrient leaching—all from anywhere, through ZENTRA Cloud.

Soil moisture monitoring

In orchard production, timing and accuracy are everything. Without a full picture of how water moves through the soil—and how available it is to your trees—you risk overwatering, under-irrigating, and losing yield or quality. That’s why METER combines volumetric water content (VWC) and water potential to give you a complete understanding of soil moisture dynamics, from application to root zone uptake. The result? Smarter, more confident irrigation decisions that conserve resources and protect your bottom line.

Measure the soil moisture profile at multiple depths using a single TEROS profile probe or multiple TEROS water content sensors, all connected to a cloud enabled data logger
Measure both water content and availability at a single site by installing TEROS water content sensors and TEROS water potential sensors at multiple depths

Atmospheric evapotranspiration

Virtual or distant weather data aren't the same as the weather data in your orchard. Inaccurate weather data can lead to mistimed irrigation, wasted water, inaccurate models, and unnecessary stress on your crop. Even a short distance can mean a completely different microclimate—especially in diverse orchard terrain. METER gives you in-orchard, research-grade evapotranspiration measurements, so you can respond to actual conditions—not estimates. With site-specific insights, you can fine-tune irrigation decisions, reduce input waste, and protect yield with confidence.

Plant stress monitoring

If you can see the stress, you’re already behind. By the time your trees show visible signs of environmental stress, yield potential—and long-term health—may already be compromised. In high-value orchards, waiting to react is a risk you can't afford. METER’s canopy-level monitoring solutions help you detect plant stress early, so you can respond with precision—before fruit quality or productivity takes a hit. It’s the clarity you need to protect your orchard and make smarter decisions, every day of the season.
