Get the Real Picture

While Croptimus does indeed include 2D mapping of pest and disease incidents within your facility, it's often far easier to just take a look at the canopy yourself. Croptimus makes grower's lives easier by overlaying incident icons right on top of your crop. Simply click and drag to see a 360º view of your crop and click on the icons to drill down to see all the details — how cool is that?!

Find Persistent Problems

With Croptimus heat maps, you're never left wondering where the source of the problems lie. Track the spread of pests or disease over time and even discover where there may be problems with your growing area itself.

As former head of R&D at Biobest in Israel, I’ve seen a lot of pest and disease solutions come and go, but Fermata’s has actually changed how I currently work as a crop consultant. Instead of wasting time identifying the source of the problem, now I can focus on mitigation, and actually finding the root causes — saving my clients both substantial time and money.

Early detection of incidents focuses the treatment area, increases our efficiency, and saves money. The system discovered pests and various plant anomalies numerous times before the IPM employee came in for their weekly examination. Fermata is the guardian angel of our farm!

As a venture capital fund, Raw frequently gets pitches to consider from a wide variety of start-ups. Right from the start we knew Fermata’s was different. Offering a solution that both makes growers lives easier, and their companies more profitable, was clearly a win-win proposition. We have just committed to further investment in Fermata, and look forward to a bright future in partnership with them.

Maintaining crop quality, consistency, and yield is very challenging when you aren’t growing in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse. And as you might imagine, manually scouting 3 acres for signs of pests and disease which affect all three of these factors is a very time-consuming, and error-prone task. That’s why when Fermata approached us with an automated solution to address the problem we were all ears!
