SmarTill
Welcome!
Welcome to SmarTill, where innovation meets agricultural excellence. Our journey begins with a keen understanding of a critical challenge in modern farming – conventional tilling practices.
What Is The Problem?
Conventional tilling, which in general non-stragegic, can diminish the soil quality by 50%, resulting in reduced yields, unpredictability in crop production, and increased operational costs almost up to the same amount.
-
Lower yields due to degraded soil quality (Soil Organic Matter).
-
Poor dissemination of water leading to higher water consumption, poor fertilizer consumption driving the costs of fuel, power, labor costs.
The Problem By The Numbers
Here Is What The Numbers Say
"the median soil health score is substantially lower at 9.6 when conventional tillage is performed, as opposed to other methods. "
"Conventional tillage leads to higher soil losses, lower agricultural productivity. "
"Evidently conventional tilling practices like moldboard plow leads to higher soil loss."

"My power bill for water supply is a major cost drain. Traditional tilling leaves me guessing where and how much water my fields need, wasting precious resources and electricity. But SmartTill precision tilling changes the game! Its smart water distribution system has the potential to slash my electricity costs by 20% or more. That's a game-changer, saving me a significant chunk of change year after year."

"For crops like corn, maize, and rice, precise control over soil nutrients, water availability, and aeration is crucial for success. However, achieving this precision is a major challenge, especially with unpredictable monsoon patterns and complex terrain. Conventional tilling simply doesn't offer the level of control needed. That's where SmartTill comes in. It holds great promise for unlocking a new level of precision, and I'm optimistic about its potential to deliver at least a 15% reduction in fertilizer costs.."
