cultYvate

We provide IoT and Remote sensing-based precision analytics to farmers. Our offering is a full-stack digitization platform including hardware & software for Irrigation, Fertigation, and Polyhouse Automation.

Our data collection happens at three levels, IoT sensors in the soil, IoT weather station on the ground and satellite-based remote sensing.

Our crop, soil and climate-specific AI/ML algorithms identify thresholds breached for different types of data and either send advisories to farmers via mobile phones to start or stop irrigation or operate the systems automatically for irrigation and fertigation management.

Further, our software monitors farmer behaviour and ensures actions are performed with reminders / IVR calls to the farmers or with intervention from field staff.

Solutions

• Irrigation Advisory
  The system triggers automatic crop-specific timely Irrigation alerts to farmers via IVR, SMS and inApp notifications, based on AWD sensors.
• Smart Irrigation
  Automatically monitors soil conditions, weather changes, evaporation rates and plant water use to determine and adjust watering schedule.
• Greenhouse Automation
  An efficient automation system that accurately controls a greenhouse environment by optimally managing temperature and irrigation to maximize on performance, energy resources and reduce human effort.
• Automatic Weather Station
  Micro Weather Station measures on-field atmospheric conditions and transmits them to the cloud server.
  This brings predictability to farming by notifying farmers of possible weather conditions, preparing them for the same, and taking the necessary measures.
• Smart Fertigation
  Demand Based application of right input at right place at right time for Balanced nutrition approach eliminating guess based fertilizer application by farmers.

Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) of carbon credit

• Data Collection and Transmission:
  IoT sensors gather real-time data on water levels in paddy fields and transmit it to a central database or cloud-based platform for analysis and reporting, ensuring continuous availability of current information to calculate carbon emissions on both dry and moist days.
• Automated Reporting
  IoT devices streamline the reporting of water levels by transmitting farmer/plot data directly to various stakeholders, thereby alleviating the administrative workload for organizations involved in carbon credit programs.
• Customized irrigation schedule to control weed growth :
  Our patented solution assists in adapting the irrigation schedule according to soil texture, effectively preventing weed growth in heavy soil. This, in turn, aids farmers in reducing their expenses on weed management while boosting their profits.
• Transparency and Traceability:
  The integration of IoT with Blockchain technology is frequently used to enhance transparency and traceability in the MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) of carbon credits. This combination securely records emission reductions and credit transfers, ensuring the credibility of carbon credits.
• Real-Time Auditing
  Our intelligent verification tool allows project developers and auditors to remotely verify water levels in paddy fields while collaborating with field officers and farmers, enhancing real-time data access and more efficient verification, thereby reducing audit time and costs.
• Fraud Prevention
  IoT plays a crucial role in preventing fraudulent activity reports that can result in the creation of counterfeit carbon credits. By continuously monitoring dry and moist days and rigorously validating data, it provides carbon credit buyers with increased confidence in the genuineness of the generated carbon credits.
• Real-Time Compliance
  IoT can aid in real-time compliance monitoring, notifying organizations when they are approaching the risk of not meeting their carbon reduction goals. This allows for swift corrective actions and minimizes the likelihood of non-compliance.
