stenon

Stenon is a soil data company whose portable FarmLab device analyses soil on the spot. Sensors, artificial intelligence and data analysis turn each reading into advice on nutrients, so farmers need no separate laboratory.

What Stenon offers

• FarmLab device — a handheld analyser with an electrical impedance sensor, optical sensors and a GPS module that maps thousands of data points quickly.
• AI soil insights — software that converts raw sensor data into nutrient readings.
• Recommendations — advice adapted to a region's farming practices.
• Soil data management — one system covering hardware, AI and software.

Who it works with

Input retailers, machinery dealers, agricultural consultants and food producers, who pass the service on to growers. The aims are higher yields, lower input use and more sustainable farming.
