Biostimulants and stress-mitigation products act on physiology before they act on appearance. By the time a difference is visible to a rater, the window in which the product mattered has often passed, and the notation cannot separate treatments that differed by a fraction of a degree.
PhenoScale combines thermal and multispectral sensors to measure Plot Temperature, Green Cover, NDVI and Senescence on every plot and date, across water and nutrient levels. Cloverfield integrates the response over the stress period and compares modalities statistically.
Quantitative stress phenotypes expose real treatment effects under stress conditions, resolving fractional drops in canopy temperature and small spectral shifts that separate one agro-input from another. Run on a 1,120-plot potato trial with 24 thermal and multispectral flights in one season.
