Analyzing Proactive Use Cases of Augmented
Reality in Agriculture Market
Augmented reality (AR) is no longer privy
to agriculture, offering enhanced
sustainability, productivity, and efficiency.
As per Inkwood Research, the global
augmented reality in agriculture market
growth is anticipated to progress at a CAGR
of 31.12 during the forecast period,
2023-2032. Farmers can increase production,
minimize crop wastage, and train other farmers by
leveraging augmented reality in agriculture.

• Our blog explores a few proactive use cases of
  augmented reality in agriculture.
• BASF Digital Farming GmbHs SCOUTING improves
  Agronomic Decisions
• On 9th March 2021, BASF Digital Farming GmbH
  signed an agreement with AGvisorPRO to expand
  access to an accredited, local agronomic
  advisor through its xarvio SCOUTING
  application. This will enable SCOUTING users
  to share pictures of an in-field problem, like
  diseases, insects, and unknown weeds, with a
  virtual agronomic advisor to learn about
  solutions. The users can choose to connect to
  agriculture domain experts by clicking the
  AGvisorPRO button after receiving an instant
  response and high-level recommendations. Says
  Brent Nicol, Commercial Lead for xarvio at
  BASF Digital Farming, The connection
  between our automatized in-field problem
  identifier, xarvio SCOUTING, and the
  AGvisorPRO connectivity platform will provide
  another way to assist farmers with identifying
  problems in their field. (Source)
• Further, Robert Saik, AGvisorPRO CEO, adds, It
  is my belief that the key to greater
  profitability, increased sustainability and
  enhanced food security comes from farmers having
  access to the right information from the
• right expert at the right time. With
  SCOUTING and AGvisorPRO our goal is to
  make agriculture better.

• Plantix The Crop Clinician
• Plantix is an app developed to help farmers
  combat pest damage, nutrient deficiency,
  and disease in their crops. Plantix is based
  on deep learning and was developed by a group of
  scientists and graduate students to help farmers
  tackle crop diseases and deficiencies.
• The farmers capture and upload the image with GPS
  on the app, which then identifies the crop type
  in the image and releases the disease diagnosis.
• Moreover, Plantix recommends targeted chemical
  or biological treatments for disease plants.
  In addition, the app helps reduce the
  volume of agrochemicals in waterways and
  groundwater and waterways resulting from
  incorrect application or overuse of pesticides
  and herbicides.

• Says Charlotte Schumann, co-founder of PEAT
  (Progressive Environmental Agricultural
  Technologies), It was really important for
  us to understand what farmers wanted, so
  we did a lot of groundwork in India.

• Furthermore, Plantix is multilingual and is
  presently available in 18 languages.
• Explains Simone Strey, PEATs chief executive,
  the farmers often use different names for
  crop diseases than those used by scientists. And
  if the farmers dont know the scientific name,
  they wont be able to search for solutions
  online. (Source)
• Unfurled View Trimbles Next-Generation
  Agriculture Displays
• On 3rd October 2022, Trimble introduced its
  next-generation displays for its precision
  agriculture applications, the Trimble GFX-1260
  and GFX-1060 displays. The companys
  innovative displays facilitate swift and
  efficient in-field operations while monitoring
  and mapping field information in real time with
  precision.
• Further, the GFX-1260 and GFX-1060 displays
  are compatible with Trimble NAV-500 and
  NAV-900 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
  guidance controllers.
• The Trimble GFX-1260 and GFX-1060 displays
  feature
• Flexible connectivity through integrated wireless
  options
• Data sharing through the optional AutoSync
  feature
• Connecting with industry-leading GNSS correction
  services
• Coherent communication between tractor and farm
  equipment
• Compatibility with Trimble Ag Software
• Says Jim Chambers, vice president of Trimble
  Agriculture, The displays operate in tough
  environments and during long days in the field
  throughout every season, allowing users to
  confidently perform a range of field operations
  quickly and reliablythey are powerful to run and
  simple to use. (Source)
• Augmented Reality in Agriculture Increasing
  Investments Reflect Growth Potential
• The impact of technology and the subsequent
  introduction of novel agriculture technologies
  are transitioning the agricultural industry. On
  the other hand, the proven operational and
  economic benefits of agricultural
  technologies have facilitated the entry of
  startups and small businesses.
• Accordingly, the profit derived from
  data-driven efficiency through agriculture
  technologies has resulted in huge investments
  in the agritech industry. The investments are
  also driven by the growing demand for higher
  yields due to the increasing population in
  countries like Vietnam, India, China, the
  Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia. Such
  investments testify to the growth potential of
  the global augmented reality in agriculture
  market.
