Olives
Challenges
- 01
Water at the right stages
Water stress around flowering and fruit set reduces the crop, while extra water late in the season can lower oil quality.
- 02
Large, spread-out groves
Blocks far apart are hard to visit often, so problems in one block can go unnoticed for weeks.
- 03
Pest and disease pressure
Olive fly and leaf diseases follow the weather; knowing when conditions are favourable helps time treatments.
How Hexilia helps
- Soil probes in each block show when the root zone really needs water.
- The in-field weather station records the warm, humid spells that favour pests and disease.
- Drones map vigour across the grove so weak trees stand out.

Remote irrigation control
Monitor and control pumps and valves in real time from the mobile app, guided by soil and weather readings.
- Status: Available
In-field weather station
A weather station in your field broadcasts temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind in real time, so decisions use your field's weather.
