Sustainable agricultural production and productivity growth are essential all around the world today. We believe those challenges require smart solutions, helping you to:
- Improve your yield from a quality perspective and a quantity perspective
- Save on production costs by saving fertilizer
- Produce your crop more efficiently by reducing throughput time or cutting steps in the process to save time
- Become more sustainable as a farmer
We understand that yield can be improved by making sure that nutrient availability and soil quality are optimized for when and where a plant needs them. That’s why real-time measurements in the field ensure correct dosing and rapid responses to changing conditions thus enabling overall yield improvement.
Intelligent Manufacturing Award
Malvern Panalytical won the Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award 2024, in the ‘Scale’ category, for its Smart Return: Agriculture technology.
The solution was acknowledged for its potential to positively impact the environment through the agriculture sector, by adopting data analysis and state-of-the-art technologies; Helping the world to become cleaner, healthier and more productive.
Realtime analysis in the field
Get ahead of your competition and start with the real time nutrient analysis in the field, instead of at an off-site laboratory.
Nutrient mapping gives you real time nutrient levels in the field, from a leaf, without damaging a plant using assay analysis on a handheld device.
Whether you are looking for nutrient levels, or other changes, such as early signs of disease, our real time VIS-NIR solution with AI solution models can provide the data you need to make the right decisions for soil conditioning and feed applications.
Nutrient mapping explained
Nutrient mapping uses the proven Trek Product, for nutrient analysis based on assay analysis in the field. Expect easy data collection with a handheld instrument, without damaging the crop. It takes you 30 seconds.
Smart Return: Agriculture will give you faster results, with more frequent sampling at different locations within your fields.
It will automatically capture ancillary data (GPS, location, etc) and simplify data collection for you.

We have been using Smart Return: Agriculture for about two years now and so far we have found that we can save about 20-30% on nitrogen fertilizer on our banana farm

Spectra Analysis Software
The Swiper program retrieves spectra from the Trek device and passes it to our Cloud Service. The Cloud Service then securely uploads the data, ensuring its integrity and privacy, to our cloud infrastructure.
From there, it’s stored in Smart Return and processed for further analysis. You can trust that your data is handled with care and efficiency.
