Nuts

Control costs across your key activities

Improve the ability for supervisors and managers to cover large and distributed orchards:

• Monitor and optimize operational costs for activities such as spraying and shaking.
• Find improvement areas such as time wasted at the refill stations or the duration to move from tree to tree when shaking.
• Hold crews accountable for spraying materials such as pesticides and fertilizers as written in the recommendations.
• Mobilize and orchestrate all activities needed to complete the harvest faster.

Increase the return on your orchard

Use the Fieldin scouting application to report on pest pressures, including insects, mites, and other invertebrates such as navel orangeworms (NOW). Create a plan to eradicate, give greater visibility to your crew, and report on the results to make any other adjustments. This ensures you get on top of any pest issues quickly and adjust instructions as needed.

During harvest, track shaking activities against various standards to gain tighter controls:

• Minimize under-shaking: ensure nuts are not left on the tree or bush, and avoid the subsequent headaches, costs, and decreased profitability associated with mummy shaking — impacting this year’s profitability.
• Reduce over-shaking: protect orchards and especially small buds and young trees from possible harm — impacting next year’s margin.

Enforce your safety standards and ESG initiatives

Hold your crew accountable for following safety rules:

• Track and report all vehicle speeds to help comply with insurance requirements.
• Integrate with PCA app to track speed alerts and reduce your liability.

Improve sustainable business and environmental practices including:

• Use less pesticides by ensuring instructions are followed.
• Reduce CO2 emissions from farming activities.
