"We have been using the Fruition Sciences system in our vineyard since 2008. By directly and continuously monitoring the water flow rate of our vines,
we are able to make much more informed decisions about whether and when to irrigate. And as the historical data accrues, we learn more about how the vines respond
to different types of water inputs in order to continuously improve the quality of our grapes and the health of our vineyard.
We are very satisfied with the intelligence of the system itself, and also with the responsiveness and dedication of its developers."

"Fruition Sciences allows me to have a more precise monitoring of vine water status, a better regulation of irrigation, and
an increased ability to improve fruit quality."

"After working with Fruition Science over the last 3 years to develop and correlate their irrigation monitoring technologies with our existing methods, we “went live” in 2009, using Fruition Science data to make irrigation timing and quantity decisions throughout the growing season. After tasting the results, our entire winemaking team feel that we have a valuable tool generating great data to help us make better viticultural choices and in the end, better wine."

"With Fruition Sciences I can monitor continuously the vine water status to optimize fruit composition. Combining direct visual vineyard monitoring, pressure bomb readings, and the real time information, I develop site-specific irrigation strategies to bring the best of my terroir."
