- Syngenta to Use Advanced Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics
App from Iteris for Agronomic Innovation -
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 27, 2016--
Iteris,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for
transportation and agriculture, has entered into an agreement with
Syngenta to deliver ClearAg®
Mobile for use in biologicals research. Syngenta Research & Development
staff will use high-resolution soil moisture, soil temperature, leaf
wetness, and other ClearAg agronomic content to determine what
environmental factors are key in product efficacy.
ClearAg Mobile, Iteris’ grower analytics application, provides weather,
water, soil, crop health, and crop growth information directly to the
hands of Syngenta researchers via their mobile device. Syngenta will
leverage ClearAg Mobile’s forecasted weather and historical advisor to
better support key staff with crucial forecasted and historical
environmental information wherever Syngenta biological research is
conducted.
“With ClearAg Mobile researchers will be able to determine optimal
conditions for product application by incorporating factors such as
forecasted UV and relative humidity; Syngenta staff can also better
determine when re-application is needed based on accumulated UV exposure
and precipitation,” said Iteris’ Senior Vice President of Performance
Analytics, Tom Blair. “We look forward to working with Syngenta and to
providing precise, global, environmental information for an even better
understanding of product performance in the field.”
