FloraMetrics LLC is transforming the way greenhouse strawberry growers anticipate and manage their yields. Born out of cutting-edge research at The Ohio State University and inspired by successful European models, our service delivers early, actionable yield forecasts using a technique called flower mapping.

By analyzing developmental stages of strawberry floral meristems, unopened flower buds within the plant crown, we can accurately predict fruit production weeks before it's visible to the eye. This predictive window gives growers the insight they need to schedule labor, coordinate harvest logistics, and plan market distribution well in advance.

We work with growers who mail in a small set of representative plants. Our team carefully dissects and stages the floral meristems under a microscope, then uses a proven data model to forecast yields 3, 9, and 10 weeks into the future (with more forecast intervals coming soon). These forecasts are backed by peer-reviewed science and years of field validation in controlled environment systems.

Whether you're running a vertical farm, greenhouse, or high-tunnel operation, FloraMetrics offers a simple but powerful solution to one of the biggest challenges in strawberry production: uncertainty.
