HELM AG and CropX join forces in SKYFLD App to advance precision farming

CropX Technologies and HELM AG announced a major advancement in their strategic partnership to enable data-driven sustainable farming. HELM AG's SKYFLD app customers can now access data and agronomic insights from the CropX agronomic farm management system through a seamless API integration that will empower farmers to make informed decisions and enhance precision farming practices.

HELM AG is one of the world's leading crop protection companies with over 120 years in the industry, and sales offices and participations in over 30 countries. CropX is one of the fastest growing agtech startups, bringing advanced yet user-friendly digital agronomic solutions to farms globally. Both companies share a vision of creating powerful yet simple solutions to help farmers adopt digital innovations.   

The SKYFLD app helps farmers manage their fields sustainably with precision fertilizer and crop protection planning, recording and scouting. SKYFLD users can create digital fertilization and seeding plans based on satellite biomass maps to help farmers get the most out of every field.  

SKYFLD users will now access a wealth of valuable information that the CropX agronomic farm system collects from sources in and around the farm, including predictive data from CropX soil sensors related to soil moisture and data, disease pressure, salinity and leaching - all in one comprehensive platform.

This collaboration enables HELM AG to tailor their SKYFLD digital experience to their customers' needs without reinventing the wheel. With SKYFLD powered by CropX, users can have confidence that their agronomic decisions are grounded in accurate and reliable data and agronomic expertise to help them optimize irrigation practices, enhance crop yields, and improve resource efficiency.

"We are excited to partner with Helm AG to bring our data and insights to the SKYFLD app," said Tomer Tzach, CropX CEO. "At CropX, we are enhancing our external API functionality to meet rising demand from agribusiness enterprise clients. "

This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to support farmers in making data-driven decisions for their operations."
