Digital Agriculture Services

We implement technology to give you digital agriculture services and connected crop solutions that will accelerate the growth of the agricultural ecosystem while addressing its pain points deftly and time-sensitively.

Digital technologies and analytics are transforming agriculture, making a farm’s field operations more insightful, productivity-driven and efficient. Digital-based farm services are helping to improve financial performance and boost yield while reducing wastage due to uncertainties.

Digital agriculture technologies handle less than 20 percent of acreage today (e.g., variable-rate spraying) due to the high cost of gathering precise field data.

To help farmers increase productivity and profitability, we use a combination of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things with its big data analytics, BI, visualization capabilities, and industry knowledge to create precision farming solutions and our Connected Crop Solution.

Generating Vital Operational Insights for Smart Farming

With the power of BI-empowered dashboards and data analytics, we create an insights-driven environment that assists farmers in making cognitive decisions to optimize yields and boost revenues while minimizing operational expenses.

Using Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wireless sensors, geospatial systems, and weather stations to navigate the cyclical nature of the agriculture business, we help in crop regeneration, reduce chances of crop failure, and curb environmental impact.

Small Farm Solutions

To improve the productivity and effectiveness of Agro-Input Company Field Agents, we ensure that technology reaches out to small farms as well.

These farms follow traditional farming practices because they lack access to the latest information, technology, and infrastructure including a scientific understanding of pest lifecycles and the latest micro-fertilizers.

We help them connect with Agro-input companies that have the products to help farmers gain maximum yields through that latest fertilizer technology, seeds, and pesticides.

We offer digital agriculture consulting services to improve agricultural knowledge, and recommend technology and processes to the farmers. So when farmers no benefit in their small farms, we offer consulting services and assign an agtech expert to help them gain productivity through efficient farming.

Czario’s Connected Crop Solution

With this solution, we connect the field agent, farmer, and the agro-input company to improve productivity, increase visibility, and reduce uncertainties. Our end-to-end farming management solution integrates collected data and draws sensible connections using data analytics to relay insightful data on personalized dashboards available on hand-held and mobile devices.

A cloud-based analytics engine will help the field agent to draw inferences and provide recommendations to each type of farmer for different crop types and scale of yield. The recommendations include:

  •   Crop Nutrition Management
  •   Timing and Quantity of fertilizer utilization
  •   Irrigation Management
  •   Seed Quality and Seeding management
