The project focuses on validating ultrasound plant sensor technology through grower insights. The primary goal is to understand how growers monitor their crops, using terms like "vegetative," "generative," "strong," and "weak." Additionally, we aim to gather their reasoning behind certain plant assessments. By correlating these insights with data from ultrasound sensors, we hope to provide interpretable information that growers can use in their cultivation practices.

Making cultivation more efficient for growers is crucial to the challenge of producing enough food for the world’s growing population. By using technology that supports growers, we can help them scale up their operations and ultimately produce more food.
We conducted interviews to investigate how tomato growers monitor their crops. Usability testing was also performed to design an intuitive, straightforward way for growers to share their insights. The result of this effort is an app that collects growers' subjective plant assessments efficiently.

The next crucial step is to begin collecting data through the app to see if there’s a common truth in the growers' insights. If such a pattern is found, the growers' assessments can be correlated with the ultrasound sensor data, and ultimately provide actionable insights back to growers in the terms they frequently use: "vegetative," "generative," "strong," and "weak."
Ultimately, these actionable insights would be combined with other data types to generate tailored advice for the grower. An exploration will be done to determine how this could take shape.
