What you can ask
Growi answers questions about your crop data, the weather forecast, energy, reports and growing knowledge. Copy an example below, or click a topic chip under the input field: each chip opens four example questions.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”| Subject | What you can ask about | Read more |
|---|---|---|
| Climate | Temperature, RH, CO2, VPD, DIF, energy screen, PAR and PAR sums, net radiation, LED lighting | Asking about your data |
| Outside climate | Past outside temperature, RH, radiation and rain from your weather station | Asking about your data |
| Irrigation and drain | Drain, irrigation starts, irrigation pH, drain EC | Asking about your data |
| Crop registration | Head thickness, fruit weight, stem density, trusses, flowers, fruits aborted and harvested, plant load, leaves per stem, leaf area index | Asking about your data |
| Climate monitor | Climate balance, CO2 range, temperature balance, humidity balance | Asking about your data |
| Charts and comparisons | A chart of a value, two periods against each other, one value across several crops | How Growi shows an answer |
| Weather forecast | The forecast for the coming days, and advice for the coming days based on it | Weather forecast |
| Energy | Dutch day-ahead electricity prices with the cheapest hours, your heating energy use, and your expected heat demand for the coming days | Energy prices |
| Ventilation | An analysis of your ventilation setpoints for humidity, temperature and vent position. The setpoints can come from any climate computer, with or without IIVO | IIVO ventilation analysis |
| Crop protection | Chemical treatments and biological control registered in GreenLinQ | |
| Reports | A daily or weekly report about one crop | Your first report |
| Growing knowledge | What a value means, typical target ranges, how to steer your crop and how to prevent a disease | Where Growi’s knowledge comes from |
Questions about your data, your heat demand, IIVO, crop protection and reports need a crop. Electricity prices and growing knowledge do not. See Choosing a crop.
For a value from your data you can ask for the current value, a statistic over a period (average, sum, change, lowest, highest, latest) or a chart. Growi understands today, yesterday, last night, the last 24 hours, this week, last week, this month, last month, this season, a number of days back, a month name, a week number, a date, a date range and a year.
What Growi cannot do is listed in What is Intelligent Assistance?. What your plan includes is in Plans and usage limits.
