Description
Agurotech is a modular crop management solution that combines a digital platform with optional soil moisture and temperature sensors, a digital rain gauge, a modular weather station, and frost monitoring devices providing farmers with real-time insights on soil moisture, weather, and rainfall, helping optimize irrigation/crop protection application schedules and mitigate risks such as drought, frost and disease spread.
Technology
Agurotech’s solution combines a cloud-based platform with optional field-deployed IoT devices to support irrigation and crop monitoring. These sensors transmit data wirelessly, via mobile networks to a centralized system. Users access real-time information through a mobile application or web dashboard. Field mapping functionality supports GIS-based data visualization.
Target
The main users of Agurotech’s solution are farmers, cooperatives, and farm advisors. The system is designed to support a wide range of farm sizes and is particularly useful in optimizing water use and responding to weather-related risks. It can be adopted by individual smallholders or deployed at scale by cooperatives and advisory services.
Business model
Agurotech solutions can be purchased either individually or bundled together, with all services accessible through a single mobile application. Pricing is not fixed and depends on the selection of services. The website specifies that users can request a detailed customized quote, ensuring flexibility according to farm size, crop type, and service needs. This model allows farmers and agribusiness partners to tailor the package to their requirements while accessing all tools through one integrated platform.
Impact
Agurotech aims to support farmers in optimizing water use and reducing crop losses through improved irrigation decision-making. The solution could contribute to more efficient input use and greater climate resilience by integrating real-time environmental data. It allows users to respond proactively to weather, such as frost or drought and diseases spread.
