Pecan growers unable to predict and mitigate crop losses from weather, disease, and pest damage in real-time

Texas pecan growers face significant uncertainty in yield and quality due to unpredictable weather patterns (drought, heat), disease pressure, and insect infestations during critical growth phases. Current forecasting methods rely on historical data and manual monitoring, leaving growers unable to take preventive action quickly enough to protect their harvest. This results in substantial financial losses and inability to accurately plan production and sales.
