iAgro FAQ
All our land imaging solutions to improve your farm performance and provide you with a decision support system in the field!
General
iAgro is a decision support (DSS) app for precision agriculture and digital farming that leverages technologies such as augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision, digital twin, and cloud computing. iAgro provides georeferenced and timed information of key biometric and biophysical parameters of tree crops helping farmers and technicians make better decisions in managing agronomic inputs. The app allows for ultra-high-resolution weather forecasts up to 7 days with ideal windows for spraying treatments, forecast models of major diseases with 7-day risk index, and identify diseases using photos. Also in development is treatment suggestion functionality based on the identified disease, yield prediction (fruit count and size), quantification of CO2 absorbed, and reports generated with generative AI to give information on climate, soil, and crop. The app also allows users to create vigor maps and prescription maps for optimized phytosanitary treatments, estimating the optimal doses of water and pesticides to be distributed in the plot.
iAgro is available for most mobile devices. A complete list can be found here.
iAgro is available for most tree crops, both intensive and super-intensive or no planting sixth: grapevine, olive, stone fruit (plum, peach, apricot, cherry, almond, pistachio, hazelnut), pome fruit (apple, pear), citrus (orange, lemon). tropical crops (mango, guava, banana, papaya, coffee, cocoa, avocado).
As a cloud-based app in which all data is stored online, iAgro requires an Internet connection. However, fields and surveys can be created before going into the field, and once the photos are collected in a capture, they can also be uploaded later. In addition, 3D scans can be performed even without having sufficient network or offline.
The iAgro app is a precision agriculture tool to improve farm processes, particularly to optimize and reduce chemical input and water inputs. Because it is a DSS, it is normally eligible for funding in regional and national calls that facilitate access to precision agriculture tools.

Subscriptions
Production Units
The limit to the number of production units that can be created within an organization varies according to one’s subscription. For more info see the features of the subscriptions here.
You can create, edit or delete production units within the “Profile” section.
Predictive Models and Disease Identification
Weather data provided by the app with a 7-day forecast generally have an accuracy of 1-2 km (on the first 3 forecast days) and 10-12 km (on subsequent days up to the seventh). We rely on reliable external providers to provide such data.
Predictive disease and insect models are based on data from established scientific literature and have an accuracy that goes hand in hand with predictive weather data. We rely on the best providers to get this data as close as possible to what the local micro-climate of the plot is.
The accuracy of disease identification depends on many factors such as the quality of the image, its exposure, and the appropriate proximity to the detail to be investigated. For optimal analysis, the photo should not be under/over-exposed to sunlight nor in shade and should not be photographed too far or too close. In addition, for some diseases in which the symptoms are similar to each other or inconspicuous, the identification could be wrong.
Fields
There is no limit to the number of fields that can be created within a production unit. The only limit is that of hectares, which varies according to one’s subscription. For more info see the features of the subscriptions here.
There is no limit to the size of single fields. The only limit is that of hectares, which varies according to one’s subscription.
Surveys
There is no limit to the number of surveys that can be created within a field. For more info see the features of the subscriptions here.
The 5-day limit was included to avoid mixing information from different phenological stages within the same survey. This avoids having maps and information from widely separated time instants.
Acquisitions
There is no limit to the number of acquisitions that can be created within a survey. The only limit is the maximum number of global acquisitions, which varies according to one’s subscription. For more info see the features of the subscriptions here.
The minimum number of photos per acquisition is 50, while the maximum number is 250. This range is sufficient for any situation and ensures that the 3D model is correctly reproduced and thus also the relative results.
Yes, it is possible. It is not necessary to upload photos to the cloud right away, especially if you have poor signal and poor internet network in the field.
If you have little internet connection in the field, you may not be able to make and/or save acquisitions correctly. The suggestion is to move to another point in the field where you have sufficient Internet connection.
If you have little GPS signal in the field, you may not be able to make and/or save acquisitions correctly. The suggestion is to move to another point in the field where you have GPS signal.
If the 3D model of the scanned plant has holes or poor geometry reconstruction, it is likely that the photos were taken too closely or that some or all of the photos do not contain some parts of the plant. The advice is to repeat the acquisition by standing at an appropriate distance from the plant, as indicated in the tutorial and in the video tutorial.
The phone should always be held vertically, as indicated in the tutorial and in the video tutorial.
Acquisitions should be made only on plants with leaves that have a color on shades of green, so not on plants with no leaves, i.e., only bare branches, nor on plants with brown/red/yellow leaves.
Invitations
Yes, you can invite collaborators to your organization through the “Invitations” feature available in the “Profile” section within the app. The invited person will receive the invitation via email and can log in with the same email (after registering for the app if he or she has not yet done so). The person invited will see everything within the organization, i.e., will green the production units, fields, surveys, and acquisitions with their results. It will also be able to export all data and maps. The only thing he/she will not be able to see are photos of acquisitions not made by him/her, because they are only on the phone of the person making the acquisition.
The person invited to collaborate in an organization will find the subscription of the account that invited him/her available. Thus, even if basically the invited person has a free subscription, the moment he or she is invited to the organization he or she will find the latter’s subscription available, without having to pay further for it.
