Paddy rice cultivation generates 20% of methane gas emissions worldwide.
Paddy cultivation is also estimated to emit greenhouse gases of 500 million tons per year.
Moisture stress at active tillering phase results in 30% yield reduction and in reproductive phase almost 50 – 60% yield reduction is noticed.
CultYvate’s smart advisory system is designed to automate alternate wetting and drying method in paddy farms and hence water-saving by up to 50% per ha per season
Our smart irrigation systems also help farmers to deploy the SRI method of cultivation by automating the drip irrigation system in a paddy field
Smart Systems helps in protecting plants against pests/diseases with a 70% reduction in pest incidence.
