Company Info
- Company Description
- We provide a soil analyzing solution to prevent over-fertilization and promote soil health by using data - we collect moisture, carbon, nitrogen, and other information from sensors and use AI and ML to identify soil management techniques that allow soil to store carbon and provide nutrients to crops, contributing to global food security.
Our sensors are IoT-enabled stationary probes. They allow us to monitor soil from a distance, collecting real-time measurements in a growing database of information which we use to find patterns and provide actionable recommendations for growers to save valuable resources by irrigating only when their crops need it, avoiding nitrogen over-fertilization, and fostering microbial activity in their soils.
The insights we are able to provide are also key for agricultural suppliers such as fertilizer and seed companies to fine-tune their sales strategies according to every region without the need to probe the soil themselves to acquire and retain customers.
Nerit’e is a multidisciplinary team that got together to develop solutions for agriculture by harnessing the power of technology. The variety of disciplines we used to create Nerit’e’s main product are Horticulture, Mechatronics, Data Analysis, Machine Learning and User-Centered Design
