The Processors and Growers Research Organisation has launched its new vining pea tool.

After four-and-a-half years of work, the vining pea tool is designed to predict the best harvest time for UK vining peas, reducing the cost of harvesting low-quality crops.

Through the collation of remote sensing, machine learning, weather data and historic yield data the new vining pea tool will advance the harvest forecast from two days to ten days, as well as predict the yield of your harvest.

The increased accuracy of the harvesting forecast provided by the vining pea tool will help growers save in both labour and cost.

Updated daily, the vining pea tool is an all-in-one tool, giving all the important information in a single visualisation. It also takes into account the variety in which the grower is looking to harvest, further increasing its accuracy.
