Towards the future agriculture
Mutus Tech explores applications of advanced technologies and algorithms in modern farming. We are working with modern farms in many regions to develop sustainable precision farming application systems based on cloud architecture, IoT, big data and AI technologies.
Our mobile application solution integrates various high-efficiency intelligent farming modules such as soil health management, fertiliser decision-making, and IPM, which will be the core parts of future agriculture.
Precision farming
Soil Health
Intelligent Fertilizer Management
The widespread use of fertiliser has greatly contributed to the huge increase in food and feed production worldwide. However, the extensive use of fertilisers has contributed to soil acidification, pollution of aquifers and increased emissions of ammonia (NH3) and greenhouse gases (notably N20, CO2, and CH4) to the atmosphere.
We are developing an innovative farmer-oriented fertiliser management approach integrating data from farming activities and environmental information, for delivering an interoperable mobile-cloud system to support SFM.
AI Soil Assessment and Prediction
Excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides seriously affects soil health, resulting in a yearly decline in land arable capacity, increased carbon emissions and environmental pollution.
The intelligent soil health management platform can implement real-time soil sample data analysis and soil data tracking with contextual information and environmental information. Combined with our intelligent pest control system, pesticide contamination can also be accurately assessed and predicted.
Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management highlights the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms.
We explore the technical feasibility of integrating visual and contextual information with advanced data fusion techniques into a cost-effective mobile solution that offers: 1) rapid detection and effective quantification of wheat pests; 2) places pest quantification into context of regionally relevant pest tolerance thresholds; 3) determines whether a pesticide application is advised to use.
Detection and Identification
Rapid detection and effective identification of wheat pests; Lightweight pest detection techniques for low-resource settings;
Quatification and Analysis
Efficient forecasting of accepted PEST thresholds for sustainable management; Robust and effective pest quantification technique in nature scenes;
Decision making
Determination of pesticide application being advised to use; Estimation of the corresponding efficacy of a pesticide for PEST control; Sustainable and efficient soil health management;
