Next Generation AI Model for Tomatoes

More accurate forecasts, less manual work

Your Harvest Forecast for tomatoes now runs on a fundamentally new AI model. It learns from real cultivation data across the Source platform, which means it accounts for climate variability and greenhouse-specific conditions that no single grower could encounter alone.

What changes for you:

Several data processes that previously required regular manual registrations have been automated. You no longer need to maintain them yourself, and the forecast actually improves because of it. Less input from you, better numbers from Source.

At the three-week horizon, mean forecast accuracy has increased by 33% compared with the previous generation. The share of cultivations with forecasts more than 20% off target has dropped by 25%, and severe outliers have been cut in half.

Why this matters for your operation:

More reliable harvest predictions make it easier to hit commitments, negotiate a better price, and reduce waste. And because the model learns from every cultivation running through Source, its performance compounds as more growers use the platform. The forecasts you rely on will keep getting better over time.

Rollout is phased. An initial group of greenhouses is already live, with broader expansion planned in the coming weeks and full deployment to all tomato customers expected in the coming months.

Introducing Approximated PAR Sum

Get precise daily light data for your crop, no PAR sensor required

You can now access Approximated PAR Sum directly within Source. Instead of relying on total radiation measurements that include light your plants can't use, this metric focuses on the 400 to 700 nm spectrum, the wavelengths that actually drive photosynthesis. It's calculated every five minutes using your existing greenhouse data, with no additional hardware needed.

What this means for your operation:

Standard weather stations measure total solar energy, but much of that energy falls outside the range plants use for growth. This gap becomes especially significant if you use artificial lighting. HPS and LED systems emit light in a completely different spectrum from the sun, and converting that output into joules is technically inconsistent. PAR from daylight and PAR from artificial lights can simply be added together, giving you a number that reflects what your crop can actually use for photosynthesis.

The Approximated PAR Sum reconstructs your light environment by combining real-time radiation data from your weather station with adjustments for structural transmission through the greenhouse glass, screen positions, and the specific output of your HPS or LED systems.

If you already have a PAR sensor:

This feature doubles as a diagnostic tool. Physical sensors are susceptible to dust, shading, and calibration drift over time. By comparing your sensor readings against the Approximated PAR Sum, you can flag discrepancies early and maintain data integrity across your operation.

Why this matters for growth modeling:

Moving from total radiation to PAR as the basis for daily light tracking leads to more realistic plant modeling and more predictable harvest cycles. Every grower on Source now has access to high-fidelity PAR metrics, regardless of their sensor setup.

Introducing Plant Balance Metrics KPI's

Understand whether your crop strategy is on track, and in which direction your crop is heading

The Plant Balance page introduces two new metrics that answer a question growers ask constantly: "How is my crop doing, and should I adjust my strategy?" By combining plant measurement data with climate computer data, Source now gives you a way to see the effect of your steering decisions over time.

What you get:

Plant Balance Factor tells you whether your current strategy is safe, balanced, or aggressive. A value above +0.3 means your plants are building strength and reserves. Between -0.3 and +0.3, you're in the balanced zone, optimizing both health and yield. Below -0.3, the strategy is aggressive, with a higher risk of weakening the plant. Use this to monitor steering decisions and catch long-term trends before they become problems.

Generative Trend Indicator shows the direction your crop is developing. An increasing trend means the crop is becoming more generative; a decreasing trend means it's shifting vegetative. The trend over time matters more than any single reading.

Why this matters for your operation:

Until now, understanding the balance between generative and vegetative growth required experience and intuition. These metrics make that assessment visible and trackable, so you can see how a strategy change plays out over weeks rather than relying on feel alone. When something shifts, you see it in the data and can respond earlier.

Plant Balance Metrics are currently available for tomato cultivations, with pepper support expected to follow.
