Design your agroforestry system from the shade you need.
Set a shade target and TreeShadeAdvisor generates a planting proposal, calculates its shade and adjusts spacing to get closer to the target. Or design your own way and simulate how it performs.
- Design from a shade target: Set the shade you are aiming for and choose your species. TSA proposes a layout, calculates its shade and adjusts spacing to get closer to the target. You review it in 2D or 3D before applying it.
- Design my own way: Place trees one by one, start from a pattern or an agroforestry template, and adjust species, distances and orientation. TSA simulates the shade of your design.
- See how shade changes over time: The same engine calculates the shade of TSA's proposal and of your own design: sun position by location, date and time, seasons and crown growth. It runs on your device, even offline.
- See where shade is missing or in excess: 2D maps, a 3D view and deficit, target and excess bands show whether the plot falls within the range you set and where to adjust.
- Document the decision: Metrics, histograms, cumulative curves and per-point matrices accompany the map. The report keeps the scenario context so you can share it and come back to it.
- References, not recipes: For systems such as coffee and cocoa, TSA can show a reference shade range with its source so you can put your target in context. It is a reference, not a prescription: the decision depends on the site, the variety, management and your technical judgment.
