Flower Mapping

Flower mapping is used to describe the development of the flower. Flower mapping is most commonly used in strawberries but has been known to be used for rubus, orchids, cereals and other flowering crops. 

Strawberry Flower Mapping is a great tool to predict:

• Yield
• Number of potential trusses
• Position of trusses
• Height of trusses
