GURUGRAM, India , Aug. 20, 2024 -- BharatRohan, a leader in precision agriculture, launched a rewamped version of SeedAssure®, an innovative service for seed companies for conducting Hybrid Evaluation Trials. By integrating advanced drone technology with meticulous data analysis, SeedAssure® offers unparalleled crop monitoring and delivers crucial insights for evaluating seed performance. Seed companies now have an option to fully customise the visualisation platform as per their needs.
In the pursuit of testing new hybrid or high-yield seeds under diverse climatic conditions, accurate and reliable data is crucial. SeedAssure® surpasses the limitations of traditional human-based monitoring, providing precise, actionable data that empowers seed companies to develop superior seeds and reinforce global food security. Some key benefits of using drone data for hybrid seed evaluation trials over human-based data collection are:
"BharatRohan's mission is to empower agriculture with cutting-edge technology. SeedAssure® exemplifies this commitment by providing seed companies with the precise drone data needed to develop superior seeds," said Amandeep Panwar, Director & Co-Founder, BharatRohan.
SeedAssure® tracks and analyzes eight critical parameters—plant count, chlorophyll content, canopy coverage, crop-specific traits, plant height, pest and disease severity, and germination rate—offering a comprehensive view of each seed variety's performance. This detailed phenotypic data, collected and analyzed throughout the trial, forms the foundation for informed decision-making and seed selection.
By integrating routine drone surveys with agronomist validation, SeedAssure® ensures meticulous observation and documentation at every trial stage. The plot-specific data collection and timeline-centric database enable comparative analysis of all seed varieties, ensuring that seed companies achieve superior results with greater speed and precision.
"SeedAssure® leverages high-resolution and hyperspectral drone data along with machine learning algorithms to detect subtle variations in crop traits. This empowers seed companies with predictive analytics that accelerate the development of high-quality seeds," added Rishabh Choudhary, Director & Co-Founder, BharatRohan.
BharatRohan is dedicated to aiding seed companies in their quest to develop resilient, productive, and high-quality seeds. With SeedAssure®, the landscape of seed trials is being redefined, offering seed companies the tools they need to achieve more accurate and reliable results, ultimately enhancing the quality of seeds available to farmers.
