iAgro

Read full description

iAgro is an innovative mobile app that transforms your smartphone into an agronomic decision-making support tool. The app uses a 3D photo scan with your smartphone to characterize the canopy geometry of tree crops (grapevines, olive trees, fruit trees, citrus fruits, and tropical crops) and evaluate vigor parameters such as LAI (Leaf Area Index), LWA (Leaf Wall Area), and TRV (Tree Row Volume). The app also allows you to consult super-local weather data, forecast models for major diseases, perform disease recognition, consult satellite data, soil data, and analyze CO2 absorption. Finally, the app determines the optimal dose of water and pesticides to apply in the field, based on the type of sprayer and the disease to be prevented or treated. All collected information is georeferenced and logged to create vegetation variability maps and prescription maps for variable-rate pesticide treatments, which can be exported directly from the app. iAgro is your agronomic assistant that can be used to: - create your plot records - organize agronomic information, share it, and plan field operations according to the principles of precision agriculture - consult super-local weather forecasts for your plot up to 7 days ahead - consult spraying windows to know the best time to apply treatments based on the weather - consult satellite data with the main vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE, TCARI/OSAVI, NDMI, LAI) current and historical up to 2 years back - consult forecast models for the main diseases and insects up to 7 days ahead - identify diseases on leaves, flowers, fruits, branches, or trunks via a photo - consult soil data - analyze and monitor crop and soil CO2 absorption - create virtual 3D models (digital twins) of your tree crops - determine the thickness, height, and volume of the canopy of scanned plants - evaluate the Vegetative vigor (LAI) of scanned plants - Evaluate LWA and TRV field parameters - Evaluate optimal water and pesticide doses - Create vegetative variability maps to optimize operations such as fertilization and harvest - Create prescription maps for variable-rate pesticide treatments - Export collected data in tabular format (.csv) - Export maps in raster (.tiff) and vector (.shp) formats - Create crop/soil/weather reports with AI suggestions (.pdf) iAgro is for you: - Farmer - Professional technician (agronomist, agronomist) - Manufacturer/distributor of pesticides, biostimulants, and fertilizers - Farmers' consortium/association - Agricultural research center Start optimizing your crop management now with iAgro, saving time and costs!

Read full description

Botana AI, with Cerere, your digital agronomist. Made for Sicily, built with Sicilian farmers. What should you grow on this field, and what will it earn you? Cerere looks at your soil, your climate, your water and your costs, and ranks the crops that suit your land, field by field. START BY TALKING Tell Cerere where your land is and what grows on it, by typing or by voice. She asks a few questions, you draw your field on the map, and you see what fits. No forms, no technical knowledge needed. WHAT YOU GET • Your fields on the map, each with its soil and its climate • A ranking of crops for every field, with a Botana Score from 0 to 100 across soil, climate, water, profit and risk • Costs, revenue and estimated profit per crop, and you can replace any price or cost with your own • Weather alerts for the field that is actually hit, with what to do about it • Olive, citrus, almond, pistachio, carob, avocado and more: the young years of a new orchard are counted, not hidden • Photograph a sick leaf and ask Cerere what it could be • Photograph your soil analysis and the app reads it for you WHAT IT IS BUILT ON • More than 300 crops and varieties, including Sicilian durum landraces such as Russello, Timilia and Perciasacchi • Thirty years of daily weather at your field's own coordinates, a seven-day forecast and a seasonal outlook • World soil maps at your exact point. Your own lab analysis always replaces the estimate • Water needs calculated month by month with the FAO method AN AGRONOMIST BEHIND THE APP Cerere works with your agronomist, never instead of them.
