At the cutting-edge of bioscience, Earlham Institute is inviting those with a business idea or project that needs scientific expertise to their next EI Innovate event on 13 November 2019
INNO-VEG is focussed on vegetables and potatoes it aims to facilitate the wider use of crop sensing technology in field trials, there will be a chance to talk to the UK lead partner ADAS at REAP
#BFA19 Finalist: Hummingbird Technologies, featured in the REAP 2016 Start-up Showcase, has just announced it has attracted investment from BASF and TELUS Ventures. Hummingbird Technologies analyses images of fields captured by aerial vehicles including drones and satellites to provide insights for precision agriculture.
xarvio’s Field Manager delivers field specific crop management recommendations to a smart-phone – it will be shown for the first time at REAP 2019
#BFA19 finalist Drone Ag launches crowdfunding campaign to further develop their Skippy Scout app, which automates crop scouting using just your phone and a drone
#BFA19 finalist: Breedr’s precision livestock app is underpinned by analysis from six years of real-world farm records. Breedr founder, Ian Wheal, discussed the results at the European Animal AgTech Innovation Summit this week.
There has been much dispute over field boundaries as they move over time. To address this and provide a consistent framework for further data analysis, Agrimetrics has used artificial intelligence to identify the UK’s field boundaries from satellite imagery supplied by Airbus.
Sencrop’s Leafcrop sensor has been launched in the UK, providing super-localised, compact and maintenance-free leaf wetness monitoring, with real-time information about disease and frost risks to improve on-farm decision-making.
To help growers time the application of its key oilseed rape herbicides and minimise risk to water sources, BASF has developed a new smart tool wHen2gO.
Julian Gairdner examines the argument that there may be other, more beneficial measurements for global warming potential, such as measuring C02 production against recommended daily intake of certain key nutrients.
The INNO-VEG project launches 48 field experiments in the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands to support the development an overarching protocol for integrating crop sensing data into field research methodologies.
