Problem Description
1960: 1 ha of land,
food for 2*
2025: 1 ha of land,
food for 5*
Obstacles for more efficient production:
- Lack of timely insights related to plant health and yield expectations
- Current detection methods of plant stress are manual, uncalibrated and unreliable
- Existing automation solutions are expensive and vendor-locked
- PA technology limited to large producers in the west
Plant-O-Meter
WHY PLANT-O-METER?
Plant-O-Meter™ crop sensor is an affordable multispectral Precision Agriculture device, which assesses health of the plants by measuring Optical Vegetation Indices (OVI).
Plant-O-Meter acquires in real-time more than 30 vegetation indices that indicate the occurrence of drought, heat, malnutrition or pest-related stress at different growth stages of crops.
Low device cost enables quick ROI, and open architecture provides possibility for integration with automation equipment from other vendors (for example: variable rate fertilizers).
Plant-O-Meter device is a tool towards:
- Reducing fertilizer costs up to 25%
- 3-4% yield increase for cereals and oilseeds
- Reduced carbon footprint
Plant-O-Meter is based on the patented technology developed by Biosense Institute.

Plant-O-Meter
The Plant-O-Meter™ is a standard version of the sensor device, intended for personal use. Besides calculating >30 optical vegetation indices, Plant-O-Meter™ provides raw optical channel readings for six channels.
The main features:
- 6 optical analysis channels: Blue (455 nm), Green (528 nm), Red (657 nm), "Red edge" (740 nm), NIR1 (850 nm), NIR2 (940 nm)
- Raw optical channel readings for all 6 channels (NEW!)
- Bluetooth for communication with Plant-O-Meter App
- Embedded algorithm for calculating >30 optical vegetation indices
- Internal Li-ion battery with USB-C charging port (8h autonomy)
- Interfaces: 1x button, 1x signal LED
- Monitoring of device tilt angle during measurements for exclusion of measurements with tilted device
- Various mounting options possible through a 1/4" thread (for attaching the handle or other standard camera accessories)
Measurements are possible in two easy-to-use modes (triggered and continuous), both initiated using Plant-O-Meter App.
