Market stage cycle about Crop, Pesticides & Digital Agriculture

I believe Herbicides and Cotton are in the maturity stage because even with new products, they’re unlikely to attract new customers. On the other hand, Corn and Soybean Seeds, Fungicides, Insecticides, and Digital Agriculture seem poised for growth in the future. Does this reasoning make sense, or am I missing something?

Herbicides (crop science) market stage

I think that Herbicides is/will be at maturity stage. What do you think? Where am I wrong? Please educate me.

Are there any good agritech news resources?

I can't find much. How do you guys stay updated on the topic? Even other subreddits or websites that are kind of loosely related, if they're good.

How Ladybird can help boost crop yield.

Partial root zone drying (PRD) is an irrigation technique that can improve water efficiency for growing grapes while maintaining crop yields. The technique involves alternating which half of the root system is irrigated, with the other half kept dry.

Fixed PRD The same half of the root system is irrigated throughout the growing season, while the other half is exposed to drying soil.

Alternate PRD The wetted and dried sides of the root system are alternated on a regular basis, such as every 10–14 days. The frequency of switching depends on the soil, rainfall, and temperature.

PRD works by causing the drying roots to produce chemical signals that are transported to the leaves, which reduces transpiration. This can lead to:

Improved water use efficiency of up to 50%

Positive effects on fruit and wine quality.

Lower yields, which can result in better grapes.

The PRD technique was originally developed by British scientists from Lancaster University and viticulturists from the University of Adelaide.

Now to automate this process is simple just add 1No Ladybird for Fixed PRD or 2No Ladybirds for Alternate PRD for the vines planted in a row and then control 2No irrigation feeds to either side of the rootstocks.

Sharing Your Crop Health Struggles (and Successes!)

Hey ! We are building an AI-powered tool for plant disease diagnosis and expert advice. We're in the early stages and want to make sure we're building something truly valuable for farmers.

We'd be incredibly grateful if you could spare just 2-3 minutes to answer a few quick questions. Your honest feedback is crucial for us!

  1. What's your biggest challenge when it comes to keeping your crops healthy? (Pest, disease, specific crop, etc.)
  2. Can you walk me through the last time you dealt with a serious plant health issue? (What happened? What did you do? How much time/money did it cost?)
  3. What tools or methods do you currently use to diagnose and manage plant health problems?
  4. Thinking back to that recent issue, what were you willing to spend at the time to solve it?
  5. Would you be comfortable sharing photos of your crops for diagnostic purposes?

Thank you so much for your time and insights! Your feedback is incredibly helpful . We appreciate your help!

How AI is Revolutionising Farming: Predicting Harvests with Precision

A small snapshot of a vineyard dashboard at one of our customers sites in Portugal

Hey Redditors,
Have you ever wondered how IoT technology is transforming agriculture? 🌱
With AI-powered harvest predictions, farmers can now optimise their yields like never before!

Why It Matters:

  • Precision Agriculture: AI analyses soil moisture, temperature, and weather patterns to predict the best times for planting and harvesting.
  • Increased Efficiency: Farmers can reduce waste and improve crop quality by making data-driven decisions.
  • Sustainability: Better predictions lead to more sustainable farming practices, conserving resources and reducing environmental impact.

Real-World Impact: In the UK, vineyards are using our AI sensors to monitor soil conditions and predict grape harvests, ensuring the perfect wine every season. 🍇🍷 IoT Weather Data in the palm of your hand : r/viticulture

What do you think about AI in farming? Share your thoughts and let's discuss how this tech can shape the future of agriculture and help us to develop a newer and more improved solution!

What else could we monitor or control to make your already difficult and time consuming job much easier?
Would NPK sensors help you determine what nutrients you need to add to improve your crop yields?

IoT in the Agribusiness

What would you rather do?

  1. Drive around multiple fields to check on the soil conditions by hand that could take up most of your day?

  2. Monitor multiple fields from your Smart Phone or PC in minutes and get up the the second notifications and alerts 🔔?

Forest Rock can help with the solution to the problem.

Agtech

Hello guys! I’m a software development student in Argentina wondering what do you all think about AgTech. I would love to keep studying to implement software technologies in the agriculture field.

I can’t seem to find enough resources about careers or courses. I also don’t really know anyone who actually does this for a living.

Maybe you can help me out! Thanks!

Bayer (Crop Science): Preceon Smart Corn System

  1. Why will this product of Bayer be on the market in 2027 and not earlier or later?

  2. Do the enduser (farmers, distributors, Agri business etc.) really need this product? If yes, why?

What do you think?

I‘d really appreciate your thoughts about 😊

Soil Science

For our High School senior engineering project my group is looking into soil testing with a focus on sustainability. The flaws, the uses, regularity, etc...

We created this survey to collect data on farmers from large operations to home growing operations. It would be greatly appreciated if you could fill out this survey and give us any information you can. Sharing this survey with others would also be fantastic.

Looking for product recommendations

Hello everyone, I’m currently leading the product portfolio for two Agritech startups based out of Singapore and Brazil - we’re more focused on b2b2c model however I would really appreciate if a few agri-relevant users could test the platform with me and share more feedback. We want to make it more user friendly and more helpful for farmers as well as industries and organisations leveraging agri-data.

Aeroponics idea

I know that aeroponic is an altrrnative and unique straregy for soil or simlar media less farming. It requires continuous flow of minerels and other stuff mixed water. But my question is, what if i use the same strategy but with soil? Worthy? Any thoughts?
