Better cotton yields thanks to gaiasense

NEUROPUBLIC’s gaiasense smart farming system can help Rhodope cotton farmers to achieve lower costs, higher yields and better quality.

With the aim of supporting cotton production in Greece, NEUROPUBLIC’s gaiasense smart farming system provides a range of services tailored to the specificities of each region where it is applied.

The aim of gaiasense is to put advanced technologies at the service of the farmer to help him produce a better, more and more competitive product. Specifically, in the case of cotton, gaiasense has, according to field studies, documented evidence that it can reduce irrigation water use by up to 14% and plant protection input costs by up to 28%.

At the same time, it helps to reduce the electricity consumed for irrigation by 25%, while at the same time it can give a total benefit of +30% to production.

Intelligent agriculture in the prefecture of Rhodope

In the context of informing about the advantages of smart farming on cotton cultivation, NEUROPUBLIC’s gaiasense system prepared a series of informative videos especially for the region of Rhodope. Besides, the implementation of smart farming and this system in the region is already five years old, while 9 agro-meteorological stations are currently installed covering 1,320 hectares of arable land.

The aim of the videos is to show how smart farming can help cotton farmers make better decisions about their crops and to familiarise them with gaiasense technology.
