HOW IT WORKS

From data to diagnosis in minutes

Oxygen Stress combines your growing environment data with AI-powered analysis to identify hidden root-zone oxygen problems — and tell you exactly how to fix them.

1

Input Your Growing Data

5 minutes

Tell us about your growing environment. We collect six key data points that drive root-zone oxygen dynamics — each one backed by peer-reviewed agronomic research.

  • System type — outdoor, greenhouse, or indoor (each has different oxygen exchange rates)
  • Crop — we tailor the analysis to your specific crop's oxygen demand curve
  • Observed symptoms — yellowing leaves, root rot, stunted growth, and more
  • Soil type — sandy soils drain fast, clay soils hold water and restrict O₂ flow
  • Irrigation method — drip, flood, sprinkler, and sub-surface all affect aeration differently
  • Recent weather — heavy rain, heat waves, and humidity all influence soil oxygen levels

You can also upload up to 5 crop photos for AI-powered visual analysis — our model identifies visual signs of oxygen stress that are easy to miss.

Get Your AI-Powered O₂ Stress Score

FREE

Our AI engine — trained on agricultural oxygen stress research — analyzes your inputs and generates a personalized risk assessment in seconds.

  • Risk score (0–100%) — your root-zone oxygen stress probability
  • Risk level — Low, Medium, or High with clear thresholds
  • AI explanation — why your score is what it is, specific to your setup
  • 3 actionable tips — practical steps you can take right now to reduce stress

If you uploaded crop photos, our vision model cross-references visual symptoms with your reported data for a more accurate diagnosis. The entire assessment is completely free — no credit card required.

THE 6 FACTORS

What we analyze and why it matters

Each input feeds into our AI model to produce a holistic picture of your root-zone oxygen health.

System Type

Outdoor fields, greenhouses, and indoor grows have fundamentally different oxygen exchange rates. An outdoor field exchanges gas freely with the atmosphere, while an indoor system relies entirely on your aeration setup.

Crop Type

Different crops have different oxygen demands. Leafy greens need high dissolved O₂ at the root zone, while deep-rooted crops like tomatoes can tolerate lower levels. We calibrate scoring to your specific crop.

Observed Symptoms

Yellowing leaves, brown roots, stunted growth, wilting despite wet soil — these are classic oxygen stress indicators. Each symptom maps to a specific root-zone condition in our model.

Soil Type

Clay soils compact easily and restrict oxygen flow. Sandy soils drain fast but can dry out roots. Loam provides a balance. Your soil type directly determines how much oxygen reaches the root zone.

Irrigation Method

Flood irrigation saturates the root zone, displacing oxygen. Drip irrigation targets water delivery. Sub-surface drip with aeration (Oxygation) actively pushes O₂ to the roots — different methods, vastly different outcomes.

Recent Weather

Heavy rain floods soil pores with water. Heat waves increase microbial oxygen consumption. High humidity slows evaporation, keeping soil waterlogged. Weather is one of the most volatile oxygen stress drivers.

FAQ

Common questions about our process

How accurate is the oxygen stress assessment?
Our AI model is trained on peer-reviewed agricultural research and cross-references multiple data points including your system type, crop, symptoms, soil, irrigation, and weather conditions. When you include crop photos, accuracy improves further through visual symptom analysis. The free assessment provides a reliable directional indicator, while the full Prescription Audit delivers research-grade analysis.
How long does the assessment take?
The free diagnostic takes about 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Our AI generates your results in under 30 seconds. The full Prescription Audit uses the same inputs plus any additional data you provide and is generated within a minute.
Do I need to upload photos?
Photos are completely optional. Our AI can generate an accurate assessment from your questionnaire data alone. However, uploading photos of your crops (leaves, roots, or growing environment) enables visual analysis that can catch symptoms you might not have noticed — making the diagnosis more comprehensive.
What crops are supported?
We support a wide range of crops including leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale), fruiting vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers), root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions), grains and cereals, herbs, cannabis, and more. Our AI model adjusts its analysis based on each crop's specific oxygen requirements.
Is my data kept private?
Yes. Your diagnostic data is processed securely and is not shared with third parties. Photos are analyzed by our AI model and are not stored after processing. We take data privacy seriously — your farm data stays yours.
What's the difference between the free score and the Prescription Audit?
The free assessment gives you a risk score (0–100%), risk level (Low/Medium/High), and 3 actionable tips. The Prescription Audit ($199/mo) provides a comprehensive zone-by-zone analysis, specific aeration treatment recommendations, ROI projections, a risk timeline, and a downloadable PDF report — plus unlimited diagnostics and expert consultation access.
