Petiole Pro: Plant Phenotyping

Use innovative Computer Vision technologies for plant phenotyping wherever in your greenhouse or in testing plot – securely capture leaf area, chlorophyll content, Canopy Cover and accurately count seeds, flowers and fruits.
Referenced in 24 research papers, which are published in Frontiers in Plant Science, MDPI Plants, bioRxiv, European Journal of Forest Research, Environmental and Experimental Botany, etc..

Instant measurement of plant traits - for 100 times affordable compared to existing products on the market!

It is developed by the creators of award winning application “Petiole Leaf Area” with 15,000+ downloads from over 130 countries worldwide. Petiole Pro is inspired by the UK, US, Canada, Colombia, India, Kenya and the UK Tech Nation Visa Alumni Network.

Petiole Pro is #1 in break through technology for plant phenotyping and the best crop vision for measurement of plant traits on mobile. It's based on deep learning algorithms and is continuously improving. The more measurements you make and other crop scientists and agronomists worldwide, the better it gets.

It’s super easy!
Install the free Petiole Pro app, click on required measurement, and collect data on the go as much you need!

Petiole Pro is designed to support seed producers and crop scientists in their research.
Do your research in the field on Android based phones and tablets.

LEAF AREA MEASUREMENT OF ANY PLANT
Petiole Pro quickly, and accurately measures leaf area destructively and non-destructively (depending on crop). It takes half as long as ImageJ or handheld leaf area meter to measure each leaf.

CANOPY COVER INDEX
Non-destructive measurement of green biomass for crop science, horticulture breeding companies, ecology research organisations, which closely exploit data about canopy and plant vegetation.
Petiole Pro guarantees high-precision fully automated calculation of Canopy Cover (Fractional Vegetation Index) with smartphone in controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) in real time.

UNLIMITED NITROGEN ESTIMATION
Petiole Pro is designed for non-destructive assessment of chlorophyll content. It measures Dark Green Colour Index (DGCI), which correlates with SPAD values of leaf nitrogen measurement. Petiole Pro enables quick and easy readings to be taken in a growing crop to establish its exact nitrogen status. It allows fast checkup of plant health in the field or in controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) but no expensive lab equipment required.

STRAWBERRY FLOWER COUNT
Strawberry yield prediction with smartphone is based on count of flowers and fruits. Automatically count blossom on your strawberry plants to get estimation of future harvest. Get number of strawberry flowers in minutes with just a camera of smartphone!

SEED COUNTING ON-THE-GO
Count seeds and grains in seconds. Its main features are fast counting speed, exact counting results and ability to count seeds in real time mode. It is based on Computer Vision and created for researchers, who need to automatize count kinds of grain such as rice, wheat, sorghum, corn, vegetables seed, etc.

PETIOLE PRO LICENSE & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- A paid Petiole Pro Plus subscription is required for certain product features. Trial period is available.
- Eligible categories of customers can use Petiole Pro for free. Apply for "Petiole Pro for Universities" if you are a student, graduate, PhD candidate or researcher at the agricultural educational institution.

PETIOLE PRO LIMITATIONS

Petiole Pro has several limitations. Highly ruffled leaves create more shadows and are difficult to flatten without overlap, leading to underestimates of leaf area.

Poor quality light and extensive shadows make it difficult to clearly segment the leaf or seed, leading to less accurate measurements.

Results of using Petiole Pro in the crop experiments under far-red red light are coming. All of the above limitations hold for other image processing software including ImageJ, BioLeaf, Easy Leaf Area, etc.
