Petiole Pro is a mobile application that uses image analysis technology to assess the health and growth of crops. Petiole Pro helps promote sustainability in agriculture by providing farmers with tools and insights to optimize their farming practices, leading to reduced environmental impact and improved efficiency.
We do this in four main areas:
Reducing pesticide use: By providing early detection of pests and diseases, Petiole Pro can help farmers apply pesticides only when necessary, reducing the overall amount of pesticides used on crops. This can lead to a reduction in the negative environmental impacts of pesticide use.
Optimizing fertilizer use: Petiole Pro can provide farmers with insights on crop nutrient levels, allowing them to apply fertilizers only when needed. This can help reduce the overall amount of fertilizer used, leading to a reduction in the negative environmental impacts of fertilizer runoff.
Reducing food waste: By providing farmers with yield prediction tools, Petiole Pro can help farmers make informed decisions about when to harvest crops, reducing the likelihood of overproduction and food waste.
Improving resource use efficiency: By providing farmers with insights on crop health and growth, Petiole Pro can help farmers optimize their use of resources such as water, energy, and land, leading to improved efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
