GroGuru helps growers make the right irrigation decisions. This results in increased crop yield of up to 10% and optimal usage of resources such as water and fertilizer by up to 20%. We do this by leveraging data from various sensors (including our own proprietary soil sensors). The data from these sensors is delivered reliably by the only IOT network tailored for agriculture. The GroGuru IOT network allows for permanent installation of soil sensors whether it be perennial crops such as almonds, walnuts etc or field crops such as corn, cotton, soyabean etc. Data collected from these sensors is then displayed in the GroGuru app.
