Digital Agro launches agro-production quality control solution

According to information, annually farmers lose up to 25% of the crop due to the lack of control of agricultural operations. Errors can be made at all stages of crop cultivation: from improper soil preparation, fertilization, sowing, vegetation to untimely or poor-quality harvesting. A good way to avoid losses is to regularly monitor fields and inspect crops, but for large enterprises this is not always possible. Difficulties arise both in the selection of qualified personnel due to their shortage, and in the use of digital solutions due to the difficulty of quick implementation and adaptation.

To solve the problem, Digital Agro presented a product - agricultural scouting. The team combined a daily inspection of the sown areas and digital solutions for managing the agribusiness. The synergy of expertise of the agricultural scouting and information technology service allows the main agronomist of the enterprise to quickly obtain data on technology violations and achieve planned values ​ ​ in terms of yield.

Agricultural scouting helps to follow all stages of production from seed etching to harvesting. During the season, specialists monitor the processed areas of the enterprise, evaluate the quality of work and compliance with technology, and notify of violations. They enter all information about the state of the fields into a mobile application, which allows you to track the received data in real time. At the end of the season, the heads of the agricultural scouting service, together with the enterprise, analyze the final reports, identify the main problems and make recommendations for their correction in the future. Over the course of several seasons, an agribusiness database is formed that allows you to analyze the dynamics of changes in indicators and optimize technologies to achieve yield and profit results.

The agroscouting service reduces losses due to the human factor, reduces costs through timely response and increases yields by 10-15% in all crops, without changing production technology. As of August 2021, Digital Agro interacts with farms from 5,000 hectares, however, if agricultural scouts are already working in the region, then it is possible to sell on a smaller area.

Each of our employees has a higher agronomic education and practical experience for more than five years. We monitor the quality of technology execution every day and promptly notify the production service of the enterprise. As a result, the user gets a deep understanding of the existing problems and recommendations to avoid them in the future. told Thomas Dorenwendt, Deputy CEO of Digital Agro
