ePlant TreeTag

ePlant's TreeTag is an advanced agricultural technology solution that provides real-time, plant-level data on water status and growth dynamics. Its core value proposition lies in enabling precision irrigation by directly measuring the physiological responses of trees and vines, allowing growers to make data-driven decisions that conserve water, reduce plant stress, and maximize fruit quality and yield. By moving beyond traditional soil moisture or weather-based models, it offers a direct window into the plant's actual needs.

Key features: The system utilizes solar-powered wireless sensors, known as dendrometers, that are non-invasively attached to tree trunks or vines to continuously measure micro-variations in stem diameter, a key indicator of water status and growth. These sensors transmit data to a cloud platform where AI and machine learning algorithms analyze the information to provide actionable insights, such as precise irrigation triggers, stress alerts, and growth trend visualizations. The platform can integrate with existing irrigation control systems for automated, plant-driven watering schedules.

What sets TreeTag apart is its scalable, rugged sensor network designed for long-term deployment in harsh agricultural environments. The solar-powered design eliminates battery maintenance, and the wireless mesh network ensures reliable data transmission across large orchards and vineyards. Its AI-powered analytics platform is built on extensive plant physiology research, translating raw sensor data into clear, actionable recommendations for growers. The system also offers an API platform for deeper integration with farm management software and other agtech tools.

Ideal for commercial fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, and high-value perennial crop operations seeking to implement precision irrigation and improve resource efficiency. It is also valuable for agricultural consultants, research institutions studying plant-water relations, and government or municipal projects focused on urban forestry and water conservation initiatives. Specific use cases include optimizing irrigation in almond orchards, managing water stress in premium wine grapes, and monitoring the health of trees in public parks.

The service operates on a freemium model, with basic monitoring features available for free to allow initial evaluation. For full functionality, including advanced analytics, automated irrigation control, and API access, paid subscription plans are required, typically starting at a monthly fee per sensor or per acre monitored.
