CultiWise is farm management software developed by the Czech company Skymaps s.r.o., founded in 2016 by a group of IT specialists. The platform aims to enhance agricultural efficiency and sustainability through precise and selective application of pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds.

Key functions of CultiWise:

• Cost reduction: Allows reducing pesticide, fertilizer, and seed usage by up to 30%, and in some cases up to 90% for herbicides.
• Yield improvement: Provides yield increases of up to 20% through precise plant monitoring and optimized resource distribution.
• Real-time analysis: Provides instant access to field condition data, enabling rapid response and informed decision-making.
• Increased efficiency: Reduces resource usage and decreases expenses on fuel, labor, and processing time, optimizing agricultural operations.

CultiWise products include:

• Selective Herbicides (Green on Green): Systems for selective herbicide application in crops.
• Total Herbicides (Green on Brown): Technologies for continuous herbicide spraying on uncultivated areas.
• Weed Detection: Tools for detecting weeds and creating maps for targeted spraying.
• Basic Satellites and Satellite Pro: Satellite monitoring to assess crop conditions and plan agricultural activities.
• Drone Pro: Utilizing drones to obtain high-precision field images and create maps for variable application of fertilizers and plant protection products.

Recently, CultiWise introduced a drone-based solution for creating "prescription maps," enabling farmers to obtain highly accurate field condition data even in cloudy weather when satellite imagery is unavailable. This helps reduce agrochemical costs and increase yields.

For Ukrainian farmers, access to quality agricultural machinery spare parts is crucial. LLC "Bas-Agro" specializes in manufacturing and supplying spare part analogues for agricultural machinery. The company offers parts for combines, seeders, tillage equipment, and sprayers compatible with renowned brands such as Lemken, Gregoire Besson, Case, Claas, John Deere, and others. Products are available through the online store bas.ua, with delivery to Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv, and Dnipro.

Additionally, CultiWise collaborates with agricultural equipment manufacturers such as Agrifac Machinery B.V., ensuring compatibility of its maps with modern sprayers, allowing automated adjustment of plant protection product application according to specific field conditions.

The Czech startup Skymaps improved the CultiWise software, allowing farmers to create high-precision maps for spraying fungicides, fertilizers, and growth regulators using entry-level drones. Even in cloudy conditions, when satellite imagery is unavailable, the technology ensures real-time field analysis and precise application of substances.

CultiWise promises up to 20% cost savings and yield increases of up to 10%. The software is available via subscription from 5 euros per hectare, while the compact CultiWise drone costs from 4,200 euros. Investments can pay off within the first season. "Thanks to the drone, farmers receive field data instantly and can start spraying the same day," noted Cornel Ciria, technical director of Skymaps.

The technology is suitable for all major crops, including potatoes, corn, and wheat. Drones equipped with multispectral or RGB cameras can map up to 200 hectares per hour with centimeter-level accuracy. Images are processed in CultiWise within minutes, forming maps indicating areas for variable application of fertilizers or pesticides, thus reducing their use, optimizing desiccation, and plant counting.

"Our prescription maps help precisely allocate resources, reducing costs and increasing yields," added Ciria.

The technology integrates with equipment from Amazone, Agrifac, or John Deere, enabling automated spraying. Development was carried out by a team of 25 engineers based on data from European farms ranging from several hectares to 30,000 hectares.

CultiWise already has over 1,000 subscribers and supports farmers in 15 countries.
