Amazone has announced a strategic partnership with Czech agri-tech company CultiWise aimed at making smart farming technology simpler and more practical for farmers.

The collaboration will see the integration of CultiWise’s AI-supported satellite and drone-based application mapping technology with Amazone’s digital farming systems, including the AmaConnect cloud platform and AmaTron 4 terminal. The companies say the partnership will help streamline processes such as variable-rate sowing, fertiliser application and crop protection, while improving machine efficiency and reducing preparation time for operators.

Amazone highlighted the potential benefits for precision spraying through its AmaSelect nozzle control system, AmaXact nozzle technology and DirectInject system, which can be combined with automated spot application maps generated through CultiWise. The partnership will also support simpler use of variable-rate maize sowing maps and automated tramline systems on Amazone Precea precision seeders.

Both companies will continue to operate independently while developing their own technologies, with the partnership focused on improving compatibility and ease of use for farmers adopting digital and site-specific farming practices.

Amazone said the solutions will be brought to market through its international dealer network.
