With challenges like extreme weather patterns and food supply in focus, digitizing data collection and analysis through digital platforms proves crucial. Here, Ron Baruchi, President & CEO of Agmatix highlights the critical role of digital transformation in the agriculture industry and describes how improving the efficiency and accuracy of field trials enables farmers and companies to make informed decisions and optimize crop nutrients and agricultural practices. By embracing data-driven solutions, Baruchi illustrates how the agriculture sector can foster sustainability, boost productivity, and tackle modern challenges effectively, paving the way to a promising and prosperous future.
A momentous revolution is sweeping through the world of agriculture, reshaping the very essence of how farmers navigate and solve new challenges. Rooted in tradition and has served as society’s backbone for generations, this age-old industry now finds itself at a critical moment, calling for innovative solutions to tackle pressing global issues like climate change, population growth, and erratic weather patterns.
Amidst this paradigm shift, data emerges as the pivotal tool for change, empowering informed and sustainable decision-making. Embracing digitalization holds the key to accelerating progress in tackling these challenges, and revolutionizing the way companies innovate.
Field trials have always been at the forefront of propelling innovation within the agricultural industry. In parallel, the analysis of data gleaned from these field trial outcomes yields invaluable insights into the performance of new innovations. The realm of big data further expedites the creation of bespoke crop nutrient plans, meticulously tailored to each unique field, crop, and variety, thus facilitating informed agronomic choices. This dual-pronged approach finds its embodiment within the Agmatix platform: the Agronomic Trial Management solution, propelling field trials and expediting the journey to market; and the Digital Crop Advisor solution, which orchestrates precision crop nutrition plans at the field level.
Agronomic Trial Management
Agmatix’s extensive Agronomic Trial Management system emerges as the ultimate digital solution for field trials, meticulously crafted to encompass the entire trial lifecycle, including planning, execution, analysis, and regulatory reporting. Notably setting itself apart, Agmatix empowers organizations to seamlessly integrate their historical data with ongoing trials, allowing a comprehensive view of trial outcomes. This approach has garnered worldwide success, exemplified by the recent implementation of Agmatix’s Agronomic Trial Management solution by an ag input company in Brazil, aimed at digitalizing its research and development (R&D) processes. This deployment encompassed both field and greenhouse research teams, with the overarching goal of heightening operational efficiencies. The initial phase involved designing comprehensive protocols and workflows to ensure comprehensive data collection. The results were astounding, enabling the team to extract twelve times more parameters, thereby improving the insights gathered. This, in turn, led to a reduction in trial costs and a significant enhancement in R&D cycle times.
The advantages of digitizing field trials extend to any enterprise dealing with agronomic data. For instance, a plant protection company that we collaborated with sought to refine its trial operations through yearly trial planning, data preservation and analysis, knowledge sharing, and workload monitoring. After deploying the Agmatix Agronomic Trial Management solution, the team went completely paperless and dramatically reduced data collection and validation errors. Their time spent on trial reports went from a few weeks to mere hours, increasing their operational efficiency by a staggering 20%.
Beyond time saved, digital transformation with Agmatix provided data visualization which showed a clear indication of trial results and anomalies. Sharing tasks between team members became easily trackable. With a clear data set, this field trial solution effectively optimized the plant protection company’s processes and workflows. This demonstrates that digitalization is not only useful in the collection stages, but, it is also invaluable in the data analysis stage, guaranteeing the comprehensiveness of data, and is set to produce key insights to drive agriculture forward.
The Agmatix Agronomic Trial Management solution is digital transformation at its best. Allowing agriculture professionals and agronomists to monitor outliers, validate data, and analyze trial results, thus accelerating the speed at which they can bring new innovations to market.
