Smarter seeds, slower systems: Why innovation won't matter without regulatory reform
From drought-tolerant maize to flood-resistant rice, improved seeds are helping farmers maintain yields in increasingly hostile environments. But while the science has advanced, the systems around it have not.
Transforming Crop Insurance: How the SWITCH Model is Revolutionizing Hail Damage Assessment
Launched in 2021, the Severe Weather Induced Trends of Crop Health (SWITCH) model leverages remote sensing and proprietary Farmers Edge data models to create detailed, field-level maps of hail damage.
Not Your Average Ag Pest, Why Mosquitoes Deserve a Spot on the Radar
With the 2025 mosquito season upon us, we believe it's important to spotlight the risks these pests pose to human health and overall agricultural productivity. Their expanding habitat range, driven largely in part by climate change, makes it clear: awareness is critical.
Mitigating 6 Financial Risks of Implementing New Farming Technology
Farmers should view agri-tech as a long-term investment that supports growth over time, not a quick fix for short-term challenges. Smart technology adoption starts with careful planning, honest budgeting and asking the right questions before purchasing.
What Is a Camera Module - And What Are Its Components?
Camera modules can be integrated into embedded vision devices like drones, industrial equipment, etc. They consist of components such as sensors, lenses, interfaces, and more. Get expert insights into how they work, their popular types, and more.
Stuck in the Past | Why Farmers Are Replacing Sticky Traps with Real-Time Insect Monitoring
While sticky traps have served their purpose over the years, they come with significant drawbacks. These old school monitoring tools demand regular attention and manual data collection - which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The Science of Agricultural Covers: Boosting Plant Growth Potential
This blog discusses the range and scientific principles behind various cover materials including polycarbonate, plastic, and UbiGro covers, to understand their operating efficiency and impacts on plant growth.
Chicken or Egg? The AgTech Adoption Dilemma
The question is: What's the real barrier? Are farmers slow to adopt, or is technology too difficult to implement? The reality is more complex, and agribusinesses need a better approach to drive digital transformation.
How to Prevent Hydroponic Nutrient Lockout
In this blog, we cover the reasons why nutrient lockout occurs, how to identify nutrient lockout conditions, the difference between nutrient lockout and nutrient burn and how to flush grow media when your plants experience nutrient lockout.
Recruiting Talent in the AgriTech Industry
If you look at the schools today vs. even 5-7 years ago, many more are offering degrees in Ag Tech and CEA. This allows many more students to pursue this as a course of study, and hopefully have increased opportunity after they graduate.
How can Earth observation drive sustainable growth and optimize agricultural yields efficiently?
Commercial satellites, equipped with a hyperspectral camera, can distinguish nearly any material on Earth and its condition through its distinct spectral signature.
SMART Researchers Pioneer First-of-its-Kind Nanosensor for Real-Time Iron Detection in Plants
This innovation enables real-time, non-destructive iron tracking within plant tissues across different plant species, optimising plant nutrient management, reducing fertiliser waste, and improving crop health
Building the Farm of Tomorrow: How Emerging Technologies Are Shaping the Future of Agriculture
Innovative solutions are urgently required to sustain and enhance global food production. At iyris, we are committed to developing tools empowering farmers to grow more sustainably - and at less cost.
How Are Gain and Image Quality Related?
Gain refers to the amplification of the signal from the image sensor to ensure that the imaging process meets defined purposes. However, trade-offs may occur in some cases. Learn about the types of gain, their differences, and their relationship with image quality.
Transforming crop health and sustainability with laser-powered technology
The foliar application of agrochemicals is one of the foundations of modern farming, essential for crop health and maximizing yields. However, this method's efficiency is often compromised by an inherent barrier posed by the leaf itself.
