In 2026, we initiated the certification process for the ScanSpectrum device, marking a key milestone in its preparation for future market deployment.

On September 19–21, 2025, the ScanSpectrum team participated in the International Agricultural Exhibition AGRO SHOW in Bednary—one of the most recognized events in the agricultural sector in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.

Additional farmers have joined the ScanSpectrum field testing program, expressing interest in evaluating the system under real-world conditions directly within their own farms.

We are continuing further development activities with the support of AgriFoodTEF—a consortium comprising QED Poland, the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Poznań Institute of Technology, and the Wielkopolska Agricultural Advisory Centre in Poznań.

After two intensive seasons of field research, laboratory analyses, and development work, we have successfully completed the project “ScanSpectrum – Innovation in Polish Agriculture.”

The ScanSpectrum system has been developed as a comprehensive tool for generating nitrogen fertilization maps, integrating in-field measurement data with advanced cloud-based analytics.

The analysis of data from the 2024 season enabled an in-depth comparison with results from the previous year, as well as the development of combined models that account for seasonal and environmental variability.

Variability in weather conditions, sowing dates, and agronomic practices means that determining the optimal timing for maize harvest for silage cannot rely solely on calendar-based approaches.

The first spectral and dry matter measurements in maize have been initiated at time points considered optimal for monitoring crop development in the context of silage harvest planning.

With the conclusion of the growing season, the core phase of field operations—harvest—was also completed, marking a critical milestone in the entire research process.

Approximately one month before harvest, field activities are focused on intensive monitoring of the physiological condition of cereal and oilseed crops in the final stages of their development.

We are continuing intensive field research, facing the challenges brought by the accelerated growth of crops compared to last year.

We have completed the fourth stage of the project and submitted a payment request, achieving all set goals and implementing solutions that account for greater soil variability at selected points based on conducted studies and fertilization guidelines.

This year, wheat and rapeseed are undergoing vegetative growth differently than in the previous season, likely due to changing climate conditions. Higher temperatures and longer periods of sunlight have caused the plants to develop faster than usual.

Due to the dynamically changing climate conditions and our experimental plan, we conducted the first measurement campaign for winter crops at the beginning of March.

Preparations for the next measurement season are in full swing! Points have been designated on the agricultural fields, and fertilizer doses have been determined based on soil measurements from this and previous years, as well as plant analysis data from the previous season.

We have completed the third phase of the operation and submitted the payment request. In this phase, we achieved all set goals, giving us confidence that we will complete the necessary analyses before the next measurement season begins.

Since the start of the project, many improvements have been made. The device enclosures, produced through injection molding using equipment purchased with the help of the Rural Development Program, are much more stable and consistent compared to the previous solution.

Data analyses from the first season of the experiment clearly show that the design assumptions of ScanSpectrum are achievable.

We have completed the second phase of the operation and submitted the payment request. We invite you to learn more about the upcoming updates!
