Why you should digitize your observations

When a grower walks inside a row of plants in a greenhouse, their keen observations are guided by a deep understanding of plant growth and health. The grower's trained eye immediately assesses the overall vigour and vitality of the plants, examining their height, leaf colour, and uniformity. They observe the arrangement of foliage, ensuring proper spacing and growth patterns. The grower carefully inspects the leaves for any signs of discoloration, spotting, or wilting, which could indicate nutrient deficiencies, disease, or pest infestations. They examine the stems for strength and resilience, noting any signs of weakness or damage. The grower pays close attention to the development of flowers or fruit, gauging the progress and quality of the crop. They observe the presence of any beneficial insects or signs of pest activity, ready to take necessary action if required. Additionally, the grower assesses environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation to ensure optimal growing conditions. This continuous and meticulous observation allows the grower to make informed decisions, implement appropriate interventions, and ultimately maximize the health and productivity of the plants within the greenhouse environment.
