KWS, a global leader in seed production, and Agremo are proud to announce a groundbreaking advancement in precision agriculture:
>> The launch of Digital4Cast powered by Agremo AI services on the renowned myKWS platform.<<
This cutting-edge solution transforms the way crop producers and researchers operate worldwide.
Digital4Cast innovative drone analytics farming tool, powered by Agremo AI services, integrated into the myKWS platform, is available to all KWS partners in South-East Europe. This collaboration provides farmers with unparalleled access to advanced analytics and insights, enabling informed decision-making and driving improved crop performance and business outcomes.
Mr. Petko Vasilev, General Manager of KWS Bulgaria and the visionary behind Digital4Cast, highlights a few game-changing features:
“The global extension of Digital4Cast to all of KWS’s operations is a major milestone in empowering farmers worldwide with innovative digital solutions. By integrating Agremo’s advanced technology into myKWS, KWS is leading the industry in leveraging data-driven insights to drive sustainable farming practices, optimize resources, and enhance crop productivity. One of the most remarkable features of Digital4Cast is the Stand Count analysis, which accurately determines the number of plants developing in a field with an accuracy exceeding 99%. This invaluable information forms the foundation for precise field planning. Additionally, the Stress and Weed analyses provide a detailed picture of field conditions, highlighting critical zones and areas performing exceptionally well.“
Digital4Cast empowers growers to optimize their current vegetation stage by offering immediate insights and facilitating corrective measures. The Weed Analysis tool facilitates decision-making regarding herbicide treatment and application rates tailored to specific areas of the field based on weed pressure. This platform identifies both weaker and stronger areas of the field and enables corrective measures for future crop cycles.
Mr. Vasilev further emphasizes the collaboration between local KWS teams and Agremo in providing Precision Ag Consulting through Digital4Cast:
“The seed business is inherently challenging, as seeds mark the beginning of every new production cycle. With the Digital4Cast program, we can closely monitor field conditions throughout every stage, from sowing to harvest. This allows us to analyze and identify the true factors behind growers’ positive or negative results. It not only helps farmers take immediate corrective actions but also assists in formulating better strategies for future production. Such a complex task would not be possible without Agremo’s advanced solutions, KWS’s agronomic expertise, and our customers’ innovative spirit.“
In 2021, Agremo introduced a dedicated service for field trial analysis, which has undergone continuous refinement based on user feedback. This module has eliminated manual fieldwork for researchers, providing precise, objective, and real-time quantitative data for plot comparison and correlation.
Mr. Vasilev highlights the impressive capabilities of Agremo’s tool for R&D field trials:
“Agremo has excelled in translating our needs into working solutions in record time. The instrument is highly convenient, allowing the simultaneous creation of numerous micro plots and the extraction of readable results for further interpretation. I firmly believe this aspect of the Agremo tool has a bright future and can be further developed to support R&D and product management professionals in their decision-making processes.”
Dr. Milan Dobrota, CEO of Agremo, highlights the dynamic collaboration with KWS:
“We are committed to continually improving our service delivery to all stakeholders worldwide. Based on user feedback and the joint efforts with KWS, we have introduced new features and capabilities, including enhanced field and crop analyses, integrated image stitching services, faster processing times, and new AI-based services for crop producers and researchers. Launching these capabilities now also with myKWS global digital platform will undoubtedly help KWS strengthen its position as one of the global leaders of digital solutions to farmers.“
Digital4Cast has unlocked new possibilities for KWS, enabling them to seamlessly harness Agremo’s comprehensive analytical solutions tailored to diverse crop types. With an expanded portfolio, KWS can now provide enhanced services to growers and researchers, leveraging the power of data-driven insights for optimal agricultural outcomes.
