In recent years, agriculture has experienced rapid innovation, with cutting-edge technologies drastically improving efficiency and sustainability. At the forefront of this transformation is Proofminder, an advanced agricultural platform that has emerged from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), empowering farmers with the ability to manage their fields like never before.
What is Proofminder?
Proofminder delivers leaf-level reports for every square centimeter of land, analyzing critical aspects such as:
• Plant population
• Weed detection (both green-on-green and green-on-brown)
• Variable-rate application (VRA) spraying maps
