Blueberry Smart Farming Solution

Precision monitoring and management system optimized for blueberry cultivation

Specialized Technology for Premium Blueberries

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.

pH Monitoring

Continuous real-time monitoring of soil pH levels, with alerts when values drift from the optimal 4.0-5.0 range.

Moisture Control

Precision sensors at multiple soil depths ensure consistent moisture levels throughout the root zone.

Frost Alert

Advanced temperature monitoring with predictive analytics to provide early warnings before frost events.

How Our Blueberry Solution Works

A comprehensive system for monitoring and managing every aspect of blueberry cultivation

01

Strategic Sensor Deployment

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.

02

Real-Time Data Collection

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.

03

AI-Powered Analysis

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.

04

Automated Management

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.

05

Insights & Reporting

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.

Benefits for Blueberry Farmers

Our specialized solution delivers significant improvements in yield, quality, and resource efficiency

20-25% Increased Yield

By maintaining optimal growing conditions and preventing stress, our system helps plants produce more berries with better size consistency.

30% Water Savings

Precision irrigation based on actual root zone moisture levels eliminates overwatering while ensuring plants receive optimal hydration.

Improved Berry Quality

Consistent growing conditions lead to better berry size, firmness, sweetness, and shelf life - critical factors for premium markets.

Reduced Disease Pressure

Early detection of conditions favorable for common blueberry diseases allows for preventative action before infections take hold.

Frost Damage Prevention

Advanced early warning system for frost events helps protect buds and flowers, particularly during critical spring growing periods.

Fast ROI (12-18 months)

The combined benefits of increased production and resource savings typically deliver return on investment within the first two growing seasons.

Success Story: Robert Crișan's blueberry farm

Blue Mountains Blueberry Farm

Robert Crișan's blueberry farm

Orăștie, Romania
7 hectares
+22% Production Increase
-31% Water Consumption Reduction
3 Months ROI

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."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about implementing our blueberry solution

How many sensors do I need per hectare of blueberries?

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.

Can the system adjust for different blueberry varieties?

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.

How accurate is the frost prediction system?

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.

Can I integrate this with my existing irrigation controller?

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.

What maintenance does the system require?

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.
