Simcha Shore, CEO AgroScout says: “We aim to enable farmers to get the most out of their farms while using resources and inputs efficiently to increase yields while using less resources. We are excited about the opportunities and value to growers and the agriculture ecosystem that this collaboration brings.
Images from satellites, drones, and mobile devices provide important information on the health of field crops throughout the growing season. In addition to satellite and drone imagery, the company’s mobile app and flight app offer another level of information on crop conditions and data farming management.
Growers gain insight from data and the ability to adapt their decisions throughout the crop season quickly. When choosing the appropriate type of plant for each field or determining the best time to use the right amount of plant protection products. This information is geospatially tagged and sent to a farmer’s smartphone and email for the best solution decision of the appropriate farming group guided by geolocation technology.
AgroScout’s digital solutions help limit the wastage of resources, help farmers optimize their farming operations and profits, and minimize the impact on the environment.
AgroScout and AECI will attend the Potatoes SA Congress on 22 September 2022 sharing capabilities and services offered for the agricultural sector.
