Plantix is a mobile crop advisory app for farmers, extension workers and gardeners. Plantix was developed by PEAT GmbH, a Berlin-based AI startup.[1] The app claims to diagnose pest damages, plant diseases and nutrient deficiencies affecting crops and suggests pesticides and herbicides, linking the user with a local seller.[2]

History

[edit]

PEAT GmbH launched the Plantix app in 2015.[3] In April 2020 PEAT acquired the Swiss-Indian startup Salesbee.[4] The company has been featured in major media outlets such as BBC, Fortune, Wired, MIT technology review and Nature.[5][6][7][8] It has also been awarded with the CeBITInnovation Award and the USAID digital smart farming award and the Worlds Summit Award, by the United Nation.[9][10][11]

Collaborators

[edit]

Plantix cooperates with international research institutes and inter-governmental organizations such as ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for Semi-arid Tropics) , CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) and CABI (Center for Agriculture and Bioscience International).[12][13][14][15]
