🌱 Nutrient Spotlight: Sulfur - Big Yields & Bold Flavors! 🌱 Sulfur is a must-have for protein synthesis, seed formation, and adding bold flavors to crops like onions and garlic. 🧅🌾 Deficiency symptoms can look a lot like nitrogen deficiency, making it tricky to pinpoint. That’s where the LENS comes in! With instant results, you can determine if your crops need sulfur or another nutrient, right when they need it. Stay tuned as we continue spotlighting all 13 key nutrients the LENS measures. Which one should we highlight next?

Day 4 of 30 Ag Companies in 30 Days | Picketa Systems Most farmers are flying blind when it comes to plant nutrients. By the time lab results arrive, it's often too late to save yields. → Picketa Systems has created the agricultural equivalent of a blood glucose monitor for plants. → Their technology delivers real-time nutrient data in minutes instead of weeks. 1.The Problem • Potato farmers lose millions annually waiting for critical plant tissue analysis. • Traditional methods require sending samples to distant labs, with results taking up to 7 days to return. • Those delays force farmers to make costly guesses about fertilizer application: Apply too little: crops underperform Apply too much: money wasted, environment harmed Apply too late: irreversible damage occurs 2. The Solution: Real-Time Plant Analysis Picketa's Leaf Evaluated-Nutrient System (LENS) uses optical sensors and machine learning to deliver instant plant nutrient readings: → Farmers scan plants directly in their fields → AI algorithms instantly analyze nutrient levels → Geo-located data shows exactly where fertilizer is needed → Decision-making time cut from weeks to minutes 3. Here's what happened when New Brunswick potato farmers implemented Picketa's technology: • 15-20% reduction in fertilizer use • Higher crop yields despite using fewer inputs • Environmental runoff significantly decreased • Faster response to nutrient deficiencies 4. The Founders • Xavier Hébert-Couturier, • Maxime Dumont, • Dominic Levesque • Zachary Andersen 5. Funding • CAD 1.445M seed investment (May 2023) • Partnerships with potato farms across New Brunswick and PEI • Collaboration with Potatoes NB and Energia Ventures - Accelerator 6. The Bigger Picture → Precision farming becomes accessible to more growers → Environmental impact of fertilizers reduces → Crop yields increase while input costs decrease → The technology expands beyond potatoes to transform other crop categories What do you think of this company? -- P.S.

🌱Guess the Deficiency Challenge🍃 Can you crack the code of this mysterious nutrient deficiency? 🤔Put your plant knowledge to the test and guess what's ailing our leafy friend in the photo below! This deficiency results in pale, yellowish-green corn leaves and stunted growth. It first appears on older leaves and spreads to younger ones as it worsens. Affected plants mature early, with lower yields and reduced quality. Do you know what nutrient deficiency this is? Drop your best guesses in the comments below. Share this post and challenge your friends to join in too. Stay tuned! We'll unveil the solution in the comment section.
