Hi everyone,
We’re preparing to launch new calibration models on our crop health scanner (Nutriscope™), focused on nutrient in tomato tissue and Brix measurements in tomato (the fruit, for nutritional quality), and we're looking to connect with growers who might be interested in learning more. This is not a product pitch or trial offer, just trying to understand better how these kinds of insights might fit with real-world practices. If this is relevant to you or someone in your network (especially if you’re growing tomato commercially), I’d love to connect or get pointed in the right direction.
I’m happy to share how we’re approaching this, and we're hoping to learn from early conversations before rollout in September
Thanks!
Olivier
I’m only fresh market. Brix doesn’t matter too much to my customers. I tend to pick varieties that are rated well in university trials, I then test them myself before committing any quantity. Disease package is my next MOST important trait. There are years where disease pressure is high and despite constant spraying the varieties with a good disease package have saved the crop.
For Roma I am moving a lot towards PanAm varieties that have triple stack of septoria, early and late blight resistance. Fair warning that I do trial with them so see some varieties years before release. It is comical some years how healthy one variety is and the one right next to it is almost dead.
Maybe the birx is more important to the processing market? |
Any tomato growers in the community?
