This month, we are excited to feature GroGuru, a company applying machine learning
(ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to help farmers implement
strategic water management solutions. To do so, they deploy soil
sensors that measure soil moisture, temperature, and salinity at
various root depth of crops. GroGuru analyzes this data to make
AI-based recommendations to farmers about when and how much to
irrigate their crops.
GroGuru's innovative product is a 100 percent wireless
underground system, which enables a permanent installation of soil
sensors, even in annual field crops that have a destructive
harvest. This allows GroGuru to provide real-time actionable data
to farmers on how to apply exactly the right amount of water at
exactly the right time to the necessary locations. With this
technology in hand, GroGuru is executing its mission to help
farmers make more money by increasing crop yield and more
efficiently using water and other scarce resources like
