Stand Count determines the precise number of plants in a specific area, compares it to the expected results, and calculates percentages under the norm in a conventional field or field trials. Use it to get the accurate number of plants per micro-plot or a single row, evaluate seed quality (germination rate), decide whether to replant or not and mark the zones of potential yield losses. By obtaining an early yield estimate from Stand Count analysis, it’s easier to plan future agricultural operations and be proactive in replanting efforts.

*Assumptions
Stand Count can be used throughout the year, in almost all growing stages of crops after they are 12 cm or 4 inches tall. This analysis gives the relevant information for both early and late season and in that way gives you a chance to compare the number of plants at the beginning and end of the season.
Stand Count and Micro-Plot Stand Count analyses are ideal for field crops and can be used to give you precise stand count information about wheat, barley, corn, soybean, potato, rapeseed, sunflower, and sugar beet. Additionally, Stand Count analysis for conventional fields gives great results on tobacco, sugar cane, rice, and cotton fields.

The Stand Count report is designed for seasonal crops (corn, soy, wheat) while Plant Population is more suitable for perennial plants (tree fruits, pines, etc.).
Plants should be at least 4in tall for first Stand Count analysis, and there is no maximum height.
Stand Count report is providing information about the difference between the planted and emerged number of plants (% under the norm). Recommended set is the expected number of the plants per acre (info about seeding rate) based on which we calculate the % under the norm.
Stand Count analysis was successfully applied on over 100 different crops. The majority of users stick with RGB images, so if you have one, there is no need for any other sensor. In addition to the RGB, we also support multispectral and NIR.
Yes, we can. Agremo developed three different algorithms for plant counting. One of them is specially designed for counting plants that are overlapping or seeded in high density such as wheat or barley.
The Stand Count report is designed for seasonal field crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, potato, canola, sugarbeet, barley.
Agremo can’t count fruits itself because much fruit hides inside the canopy; thus, you can’t detect all of them on a 2D drone image.
After introducing mapping and crop analysis reports to farmers, they could see their field from another perspective. Agremo is helping us bring essential information to farmers which were impossible to get until recently.

Agremo’s map is more specific. Competitors break their maps into half-acre grids, but Agremo colors the whole thing exactly how it is. Visually, it’s night and day. A lot of farmers are visual.
Corey Nohl
With Agremo reports, farmers they can increase productivity, reduce major problems by having early warnings during the early stages of the crops preventing major losses. Bottom line, increase ROI while minimizing losses.
Miguel Ángel Salgado
The best thing about the plant population reports is the accuracy, which is splendid and it is very important! Great service at eye level with the customer!

The biggest benefit for farmers who use drones and Agremo reports is that they increase their yields, reduce costs or improve their productivity. In the end, all these benefits are lead to extra profits.
Ciprian Iorga
We introduced new farming methods to farmers in Africa, who recognized that Agremo and drones can provide them with quicker, more convenient, efficient and accurate way of gathering decision making information.
Derrick Annan
With Agremo, we doubled our productivity, and our forestry clients are happy with the Agremo reports necessary for the inventory system as well as a stem map with tree distribution.
Curt Rogers
Of the few vendors who advertised drone imagery analytics, Agremo provided a vastly superior capability. It is extremely important to base any remote sensing assessment in solid ground truth. Agremo clearly excelled over their competitors.
Konrad Kern
Agremo Stand Count analysis shows how successful seeding was and how many plants farmers will be able to harvest. Withal, it can help to apply different sowing standards in different parts of the plot, in order to achieve the highest yields.

Agroservice and Product Manager (Maize and Oil Crops), KWS SAAT AG
Since we ran our first report with Agremo, both our company and our customers continue to be impressed with the accuracy of the reports compared to our ground truthing. We have leveraged many Agremo reports but find the most value in crop health, weed and stand count analyses. We continue to leverage the Agremo intelligence as a proven way to improve our customers’ bottom line.
