🌱 How Growers Are Using Landkind’s Plant Health Tool to Stay Ahead
Khan Greig : Aug 1, 2025 1:02:06 PM

In the world of orchard management, staying ahead of plant health issues is critical. Diseases like PSA and Armillaria, or unnoticed girdling damage, can quickly impact productivity and profitability. That’s why growers across New Zealand are turning to Landkind’s Plant Health Tool—and seeing real results.
🌿 A Tool That Works Where Growers Work
Landkind’s Plant Health Tool is built into the Dynamic Map, making it easy to log plant health concerns in real time. Whether you're walking the blocks or riding the quad, you can drop a GPS pin, add a note, and snap a photo—capturing everything from PSA lesions to signs of Armillaria with full context.
Nathan from Te Puna shares:
"For a long time I've been trying to find a practical, easy way to record multiple issues around different orchards in such a way where I can then easily re-locate, monitor and share them across our team. Landkind has solved this for me and I absolutely love it."
📊 Turning Observations into Action
Once back at the office, growers use Landkind’s dashboard to visualise and tally recorded issues. This helps identify patterns, prioritise areas needing attention, and plan grafting rounds or targeted treatments with confidence.
Amiela from Tasman explains:
"The plant feature of Landkind has proven to be an extremely valuable tool for our orchard. It allows us to accurately isolate and monitor specific areas that may require additional attention—whether due to disease hotspots or sections with multiple replants."
🚜 Precision in Team Coordination
Landkind doesn’t just help with monitoring—it streamlines action. Staff and contractors can be guided directly to the exact vine using GPS, eliminating confusion and saving time.
Amiela adds:
"It enables us to effectively track and manage ongoing tasks such as regrafting or the removal of dead plants, ultimately supporting more informed decision-making and efficient orchard management."
🔧 Supporting Grafting and Disease Management
From tracking grafting success to responding to disease outbreaks, Landkind helps growers stay proactive. It supports compliance tracking, spray records, and team coordination—all in one place.
📌 Why It Matters
Growers know that PSA and Armillaria can spread fast. Girdling damage can be missed. Grafting success depends on precision. Landkind gives them the tools to manage all of it—proactively, accurately, and efficiently.
