We ensure early detection of crop stress before the damage becomes irreversible. To achieve this, we use a combination of drone, sattelite, and ground based smart sensing techniques to monitor crops at regular intervals. This allows us to detect any signs of crop stress weeks in advance before it becomes visible to human eye, allowing for enough time to take corrective measures.
