Skymaps, a Czech agtech startup, has launched a drone-based prescription mapping solution called CultiWise. This solution enables farmers to generate high-precision crop health maps within hours, achieving up to 20% cost savings and a return on investment within the first season. The CultiWise drone can map 200 hectares per flight hour with centimeter-level accuracy, using multispectral or RGB cameras. This provides detailed field insights, ensuring precise application of crop inputs. The drone’s high-resolution images eliminate soil interference and offer a clearer assessment of crop health, making it ideal for early growth stages and wide-row crops where satellite data is unreliable. The CultiWise platform is available to subscribers, starting at €5 per hectare, with the drone available from €4,200. The system produces accurate prescription maps that allow farmers to adjust nozzle outputs based on crop conditions, reducing input costs and improving sustainability. With over 1,000 farm subscribers and local support in 15 countries, CultiWise is making precision farming more accessible and aligned with future regulations on pesticide and fertilizer use.
