In this issue: * [How Costa’s breeding program is shaping the future of fruit](https://www.waybeyond.io/#Costa-Group) * [A real-world result from early pest detection](https://www.waybeyond.io/#Quick-Yield) * [The strategy behind Evapotranspiration-based irrigation planning](https://www.waybeyond.io/#optimized) * [Smart alerts in FarmRoad](https://www.waybeyond.io/#climate-alerts) * [Why resilient growing starts with data clarity](https://www.waybeyond.io/#soil) Let’s dive in!   ###### OVER THE LINE ## The Logic Behind Costa Group’s Bet on FarmRoad *![Daniel Than of WayBeyond using FarmRoad platform at Costa Berry International’s production farm](https://www.waybeyond.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Costa%20Investor%20News%20Resource%20Card-%20600%20x%20361.png?width=1920\&height=1151\&name=Costa%20Investor%20News%20Resource%20Card-%20600%20x%20361.png)* \_Costa Group deploys WayBeyond's FarmRoad platform at its Australian berry breeding farms \_ **Costa Group is betting on data to shape the future of blueberries.** The company has tapped WayBeyond’s FarmRoad platform to power its elite breeding program in Australia, bringing the same smart infrastructure already in use across its commercial farms in Morocco, India, and Laos. With FarmRoad, Costa Group is accelerating the identification and development of the berries best suited for tomorrow’s growing conditions. [**Read how this signals a shift in breeding strategy**](https://www.waybeyond.io/resources/from-breeding-to-breakthrough-how-costa-group-is-using-farmroad-to-grow-better-berries?hsLang=en)  ###### ON THE FARMROAD ## Introducing *Quick Yield*: Small stories. Big yield This month, WayBeyond launched *Quick Yield*, a new series spotlighting real-world outcomes from growers using FarmRoad. The series captures just one thing: **the impact.** #### Quick Yield #01: Early Detection. \$750/ha Saved **![](https://www.waybeyond.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Quick%20Yield%20%2301%20-%201200%20x%20800%20px%20\(1\).png?width=1200\&height=796\&name=Quick%20Yield%20%2301%20-%201200%20x%20800%20px%20\(1\).png)** When one grower struggled to spot pest and disease threats in time, real damage followed. With FarmRoad’s plant health analysis and real-time alerts, they were able to detect stress signs *before* problems spread. That shift to early action saved them up to \$750 per hectare in treatments and avoided crop loss. [View the case study](https://www.waybeyond.io/resources/agricola-chaparral-reduces-crop-loss?hsLang=en) *Stay tuned for more bite-sized stories of smarter farming in action.*   ###### OPTIMIZED ## The strategy behind ETo-based irrigation planning *![Anas Elmajdoub managing drip irrigation on a commercial farm in Morocco](https://www.waybeyond.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Anas%20holding%20pot%20in%20greenhouse-2.jpg?width=1920\&height=1197\&name=Anas%20holding%20pot%20in%20greenhouse-2.jpg)* 💭 How much water and fertilizer could you save by planning irrigation based on crop demand instead of fixed schedules? That’s what WayBeyond’s research team set out to test in a recent field study in Mexico. One grower used **[FarmRoad’s reference evapotranspiration (ETo) tools](https://www.waybeyond.io/solutions/optimize-irrigation?hsLang=en)** and **climate data** to guide daily irrigation decisions. The outcome? * 16% less water used * Estimated savings of \$3,000/ha in fertigation costs * No compromise in crop performance [**See the early findings and how this strategy could work on your farm**](https://www.waybeyond.io/resources/optimized-irrigation?utm_source=linkedin\&utm_medium=organic_social\&utm_campaign=newsletter\&utm_content=june2025\&hsLang=en) **About the series:** *Optimized* is WayBeyond’s new series spotlighting real-world results from data-driven crop management. Each edition breaks down what worked, how it was done, and the outcomes that followed—from irrigation and fertigation to climate forecasting and beyond.   ###### FARMROAD FEATURE  ## Climate Alerts That Think Ahead *![Alerts for temperature, radiation and humidity in strawberry polytunnel farm](https://www.waybeyond.io/hs-fs/hubfs/FarmRoad%20alerts%20hero%20image_edit.png?width=1920\&height=1230\&name=FarmRoad%20alerts%20hero%20image_edit.png)* \_FarmRoad Climate and Disease Risk Alerts \_ Stay one step ahead—without staring at your dashboard. [FarmRoad](https://www.waybeyond.io/farmroad-crop-management-software?utm_source=linkedin\&utm_medium=organic_social\&utm_campaign=newsletter\&utm_content=june2025\&hsLang=en) lets you set custom alerts for temperature, humidity, and other key climate factors in your greenhouse or protected crops. Get notified instantly by text, WhatsApp, or email when conditions cross your thresholds—and act before issues escalate. FarmRoad also flags elevated risks of botrytis and powdery mildew, so you can stay proactive, not reactive. **Coming soon:** Forecast alerts powered by satellite data and AI—because tomorrow matters just as much as today. Plus, the ability to create custom alerts per farm, ensuring your team receives timely, relevant notifications tailored to every site within your operation.   ###### INSIGHT ## Soil Under Pressure: Why Data-Driven Decisions Are the Foundation of Resilient Growing *![](https://www.waybeyond.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Soil%20under%20pressure%20blog%20main%20image-min.png?width=1920\&height=902\&name=Soil%20under%20pressure%20blog%20main%20image-min.png)* Each year, the world loses millions of tons of fertile soil to erosion, pollution, and unsustainable farming practices. For growers, this results in declining yields, higher input costs, and crops that are less able to withstand extreme weather. But the solution isn’t more attention—it’s better decisions. **Most growers aren't short on data**. They're short on insight that they can act on. In his latest article, WayBeyond Founder and CEO Darryn Keiller shares how platforms like FarmRoad turn environmental signals into clear, **practical, field-level insights** that help growers make more resilient decisions.  [Read the insight](https://www.waybeyond.io/resources/soil-under-pressure?hsLang=en) That’s a wrap for this edition of our newsletter!
