About
Croptimal performs accurate, real-time testing of plant tissue, soil, and water in the field. The company's solution, which is offered as a service to farmers and agronomists, can reduce the time to analysis to between 10 and 60 minutes using a compact mobile laboratory that automatically prepares samples and analyzes component material elements. Croptimal's technology utilizes multispectral spectroscopy and electrical measurement units for a full range of material analysis of nutrients and contaminants. It includes fast, accurate measurement of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, as well as microelements such as iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc in all forms and at set intervals. The company has also developed machine-learning algorithms that allow for a correlation analysis between environmental events (e.g. temperature and UV radiation) and the measurement data of nutrients. The algorithms allow Croptimal to create dynamic growth protocols to enable accurate fertilization recommendations based on past events and potential future events. In 2018, Croptimal bought out Xenemetrix from Eurocontrol, which had acquired the company in 2010. Croptimal has managed the commercialization of Xenemetrix's products since 2017.
