PhytoTester has been developed through research, prototyping and field testing. This page separates what is supported from what should not be inferred from a single measurement.
The strongest claims on this site are tied to published research and documented field testing.
Published research presented at AGROSYM 2023 reports that the technology can be used to assess the physiological condition of plant material in approximately 5–10 seconds without damaging the tested material.
Open published source (PDF) ↗PhytoTester has also been tested in Denmark with farmers, greenhouse operations and agribusiness representatives, alongside testing in production environments.
Open programme source (PDF) ↗Results can be considered alongside field observations, agronomic knowledge and other relevant assessment methods.
PhytoTester is positioned as an additional plant-level measurement input. The value is stronger when the result is interpreted in its field context rather than presented as a universal diagnosis.
In a demo, we can show the device, plant measurement workflow, mobile recording and digital review layer.
