Heading into the summer months, Croptracker is releasing a round up of our spring Software Updates. Below we have outlined the changes and improvements affecting our users since March 2025.

Sometimes irrigation feels like an underestimated star of horticulture.  While we may not discuss it on this blog as much as we discuss chemical applications or harvests, irrigation is a critical process upon which the farm's success hinges.  As growers know, irrigation not only increases yields and fruit size, but lengthens tree and vine life for a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Despite what many of our forecasts would have us think, spring is around the corner for those of us in the Northern hemisphere!  In today's blog post, we're going to go over some housekeeping procedures related to starting a new growth cycle with Croptracker.  This process is quite like spring cleaning - it's all about making sure you've got a blank state and a fresh start for the new season.

Bordering crops with wildflower plantings is becoming an increasingly popular method to attract pollinators and pest predators.  But are wildflower borders appropriate for all growers?  Are there wildflower species that can actually hinder yields?

Subscription box services are a relatively new marketing phenomenon but one that has taken the world by storm. Known for being extremely popular among millenials in the form of monthly curated beauty boxes, the subscription box craze has expanded to include options for razors, sci-fi memorabilia, candy, crystals, and now, fresh produce. Companies like Chef’s Plate, Yummy Dishes, Miss Fresh and more deliver fresh fruits and vegetables right to customer's doors inside their weekly and monthly healthy meal kit delivery boxes.  One of the best parts?  Most of the produce comes from small-scale, local growers.

The practice of summer shearing, or sidewall mowing, in order to shape trees into fruiting walls has been growing in popularity over the last few years.  But a Pennsylvania researcher warns growers in climates where trees grow vigorously that they should take caution before getting too shear-happy.

How can the agricultural sector successfully incorporate sustainable, green practices? As the clock ticks on widely known climate change ‘deadlines’, the day to day realities involved in executing efficient, profitable food production continue. Regardless, the need for a huge shift in reducing industry waste is critical to addressing environmental limitations. Improving packaging throughout the supply chain means reducing single-use plastics, developing viable biodegradable and recyclable alternatives from sustainable sources, and limiting the amount of packaging materials required to safely transport produce and food products from farm to table.
