Project Summary
By utilizing AI to address the main diseases of concern in lentil crops, the partners are helping farmers and agronomists make improved crop management decisions.
This platform can lower input costs, improve disease management and preserve yield potential, all of which help secure Canada’s supply chain for ingredient processors and food manufacturers.
The partners are utilizing and building on Ukko Agro’s ForeSite platform to develop and commercialize their AI technology. Once available to farmers, agronomists and retailers, the technology will help improve the sustainability of the sector, increase yields and strengthen the ingredient supply chain.
