Science and Measurement

Sensor Technology

If you’re not measuring, you’re guessing. If your goal is to improve vine health, wine quality, and save precious resources…like your time, upgrading your sensing equipment is the first step. 

Find the right solution for your vineyard.

Get the information that matters. Avterra combines plant stress sensors, soil moisture probes, on-farm weather stations, and flow monitoring to get a clear picture of vine health and water use. We resell trusted ag-tech equipment and integrate your existing systems. Know when to water, how much, and why—turning field data into confident irrigation decisions.

Soil Moisture

Durable soil moisture probes are a must-have for seeing how much water you have in the soil profile and how to effectively irrigate the rootzone.

Plant Stress

Florapulse microtensiometers provide realtime stem water potential data without a pressure bomb. Track plant stress and water only when needed to maximize wine quality.

Weather and ET

How much rain did my vines get last season? Do I need to get up at 3am to turn on my frost sprinklers? How much water are my vines really consuming? Know the real numbers.

Water Use

How much water are you actually using? You may be surprised. We offer a variety of solutions that allow you to monitor and track water consumption.

Irrigation Automation

Optimal irrigation strategy means nothing if you can't execute it. Don't spend all season turning valves manually and still failing to keep up with your vines' water demand.

Innovation

With 30+ years as researchers and vine physiologists, we are always testing new technologies that will make a growers lives easier. We kick the tires so you don't have to!
