Problem
Current methods for monitoring soil nitrate levels are often infrequent, imprecise, and costly, leading to fertilizer overuse in agriculture. This results in significant economic losses for farmers due to wasted fertilizer, reduced crop yields, and environmental damage from nitrate leaching into groundwater. Existing soil-water content monitoring solutions do not provide continuous, real-time, and accurate nutrient data.
Solution
DOTS provides a real-time soil nutrient monitoring system that enables farmers to optimize fertilization practices, reduce waste, and minimize environmental contamination. The system utilizes a patented porewater extraction technology combined with spectroscopy-based analysis to deliver continuous, precise soil nitrate data. An AI-driven algorithm analyzes the data to provide actionable insights and precise fertigation recommendations, which can be integrated with third-party irrigation systems. This allows for data-driven decisions, eliminating fertilizer overdose, enhancing yields, and improving profitability.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes farmers seeking to optimize fertilization, reduce costs, and increase yields, as well as the fertilizer industry aiming to customize products and monitor nitrate leaching.
