Farmers choose Ceres’ imagery products for early warnings of pest and disease and to better utilize water and fertilizer. Ceres’ actionable images have improved yields for growers by tens of tons an acre, and profits by hundreds of dollars an acre. Clients and partners include Olam, The Climate Corporation, Agtegra, and Evergreen FS.
By using proprietary image sensors, computer vision, machine learning, and plant science, the company allows farmers to react to changes in their fields weeks before they can see them with the naked eye. Unlike traditional legacy imagery, like true-color and NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) imagery, Ceres’ spectral imaging products let farmers monitor individual plant water and nutrient content, as well as stress levels.
