Smarter disease detection. Better growing. Better results.
Diseases like leaf roll virus, and the Y-virus can spread rapidly and cause significant damage to potato crops. Early detection is therefore crucial. However, manual scouting is labor-intensive, error-prone, and often too late. Croptimal is developing a solution that automates and refines this process: The Croptiscan.
Disease detection
The Croptimal Croptiscan detects diseases using intelligent image recognition and a self-developed algorithm. Our Croptiscan identifies leaf discoloration, spots, and deformation, and distinguishes between disease types, varieties, and growth stages. The model is continuously updated with data from test plots and commercial fields.
ROI: Less labour, more control
Traditional disease detection requires time and manual effort: All resources that are becoming increasingly scarce. Croptimal offers a sustainable and efficient alternative: Fewer field inspections and greater precision. This reduces labour needs, increases the reliability of disease insights, and creates space for what truly matters: Smart decisions and peace of mind during the growing season.
The result? Smarter disease detection with fewer inputs, less crop loss, lower costs, more control for the grower, and a better return per hectare.
Scalable: Reliable, scalable, and future-oriented
At Croptimal, we believe the future of potato cultivation depends on smart decisions driven by data and insight. By detecting diseases earlier and more accurately, we save on labour, inputs, and yield loss. This strengthens not only crop resilience but also the grower’s position.
What starts with potatoes is steadily expanding to other crops. With the same precision, the same impact, and the same goal: To grow more efficiently and sustainably, crop by crop. Think of sugar beets, onions, or other vegetables, each with its own disease challenges, but the same need for early detection and targeted action.
By designing for scalability and adaptability from the start, we’ve made Croptimal more than just a potato disease scanner — it’s a growth platform for smart disease detection across arable farming. Today, tomorrow, and well into the future.
