Innovation and digitalisation

Drones and new digital technologies open up unprecedented opportunities for farmers to improve crop yields and profit margins. Drones are able to collect data on soils and plants in real time. Once analysed, it can promptly suggest responses to nutrient deficiencies, as well as to the risk of fungus or diseases. This data can also be fed into our Agro Calculator, which will help determine what fertilizers are necessary
