Blueberry cultivation presents unique challenges: they require acidic soil (pH 4.0-5.0), consistent moisture levels, and protection from frost events. Our dedicated blueberry solution addresses these specific needs through specialized technology designed specifically for optimizing blueberry production.
The SSA AgTech Blueberry Solution combines precise monitoring capabilities with intelligent automation to create the perfect growing environment for your blueberry plants, helping maximize both yield and berry quality.
Continuous real-time monitoring of soil pH levels, with alerts when values drift from the optimal 4.0-5.0 range.
Precision sensors at multiple soil depths ensure consistent moisture levels throughout the root zone.
Advanced temperature monitoring with predictive analytics to provide early warnings before frost events.
A comprehensive system for monitoring and managing every aspect of blueberry cultivation
MikroG sensors are strategically placed throughout your blueberry fields to monitor soil conditions, with higher density in critical zones. Each sensor collects data on soil moisture, temperature, pH levels, and electrical conductivity.
The Central Unit collects and processes data from all field sensors, along with local weather information. Our system provides 24/7 monitoring with readings every 15 minutes and automatic data transmission via LoRaWAN or GSM network.
Our specialized AI algorithms, calibrated specifically for blueberries, analyze all collected data to determine optimal irrigation schedules, detect potential pH imbalances early, and predict frost events up to 72 hours in advance.
The system can directly control irrigation and other equipment, ensuring timely intervention with precision irrigation control, automated pH correction through fertigation systems, and integration with frost protection systems.
Comprehensive dashboard and reporting system gives you full visibility with mobile and web access to real-time farm conditions, customizable alerts, and detailed historical reports for analysis and planning.
Our specialized solution delivers significant improvements in yield, quality, and resource efficiency
By maintaining optimal growing conditions and preventing stress, our system helps plants produce more berries with better size consistency.
Precision irrigation based on actual root zone moisture levels eliminates overwatering while ensuring plants receive optimal hydration.
Consistent growing conditions lead to better berry size, firmness, sweetness, and shelf life - critical factors for premium markets.
Early detection of conditions favorable for common blueberry diseases allows for preventative action before infections take hold.
Advanced early warning system for frost events helps protect buds and flowers, particularly during critical spring growing periods.
The combined benefits of increased production and resource savings typically deliver return on investment within the first two growing seasons.
See how our solution transformed blueberry production at one of our client farms
Robert Crișan's blueberry farm implemented 24 SSA AgTech sensors and the AI optimization system, with the Bloom tier subscription in 2025. The farm was experiencing challenges with maintaining consistent soil pH and had suffered significant losses during previous drought periods.
After deployment, the system immediately identified several areas with sub-optimal pH levels and provided recommendations for targeted amendments. The precision irrigation system maintained optimal moisture levels during the entire growing season, while using 31% less water than in previous years.
"The SSA AgTech system has transformed how we grow blueberries. The automatic irrigation system was beneficial from the first week, while the fertilization predictions and recommendations helped us save money and increase the crop growth. One thing I enjoyed a lot was the chatbot, that knew every detail about my farm and my resources, along with the integrated weather station, in the app."

Common questions about implementing our blueberry solution
For blueberry plantations, we typically recommend 3-5 sensors per hectare, depending on soil variability and topography. Areas with higher variability or critical zones may require additional sensors for optimal monitoring.
Yes, our AI algorithms are calibrated for different blueberry varieties and their specific requirements. During implementation, we customize the system for your specific varieties, taking into account factors like root depth, water needs, and growth patterns.
Our frost prediction system combines local sensor data with multiple weather forecast sources to achieve over 90% accuracy for frost events up to 48 hours in advance. The system continuously improves through machine learning as it gathers more data specific to your location.
Yes, our system can integrate with most modern irrigation controllers and many legacy systems. We provide adapters for popular brands like Hunter, Rain Bird, Netafim, and others. For custom or older systems, our engineers can develop specific integration solutions.
The system is designed for minimal maintenance. Sensors should be checked and cleaned once annually, and we recommend professional recalibration every two years. Batteries typically last 3-5 years with the integrated solar charging system. Our maintenance contract includes regular check-ups and quick replacement of any faulty components.
