Agrology

Agrology provides a predictive agricultural platform that enables farmers to monitor crops and receive predictive insights on irrigation, extreme weather, soil carbon respiration and sequestration, and pest and disease outbreaks. Agrology collects data in the fields of customers and then processes it using machine learning (ML) and AI models. The system forecasts up to four days in advance, allowing growers to use ground-truth data. Agrology claims it provides the first soil carbon respiration monitoring system, which offers critical real-time data on soil microbiome health and changes in soil carbon content. Agrology provides a subscription service that includes the installation and replacement of all sensors, real-time monitoring, and secure access to a farm’s data via the Agrology mobile app.
