🧠 Executive Summary

Oakridge AgroTech faced growing challenges in maintaining crop health while minimizing chemical overuse. Traditional spraying methods led to inconsistent coverage and escalating costs. Partnering with AgriNova, they deployed the AgriDrone X1 equipped with SmartSpray Sync, enabling autonomous, data-driven pesticide application across 500+ acres. The result? A 38% reduction in pesticide use, healthier crops, and smarter, more sustainable operations.

🌾 The Challenge

Oakridge AgroTech manages a large-scale farming operation in Iowa focused on corn and soybean production. Their primary challenges included:

• 🌪️ Overapplication and runoff of pesticides
• 📉 Inconsistent crop health due to manual spraying variance
• 💸 High labor and chemical costs
• ❌ Regulatory pressure on chemical usage

They needed a solution that combined precision, automation, and scalability.
