What happens when thousands of seedling trays need to be checked, quickly, accurately, and consistently?

In large nursery and greenhouse operations, teams often rely on manual inspection to find empty cavities, evaluate seedling emergence, and monitor tray quality. But as production scales, this process becomes time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to standardize.

That’s the problem Saiwa worked to solve with GreenTech.

Using drone imagery and AI-powered computer vision, Sairone was used to detect seedling blocks, identify empty cavities, and support faster, more consistent nursery monitoring.

The goal is simple: help propagation teams spend less time counting manually, and more time making informed production decisions.

A smarter way to monitor seedlings starts with better visibility.

Agriculture Education Day was one of those days that reminded us why we do what we do, and with today being , it feels especially important to reflect on the value of teaching sustainable agriculture to the next generation.

We had a great time at hosted by the Fergus Agricultural Society, where Kate Withers Hess spent the day with Grade 5 students exploring how technology is changing agriculture.

Through an interactive workshop, students learned how drones can be used to scout fields, how farmers make w**d control decisions, and the different tools available today, from traditional ground sprayers to laser and autonomous w**ders. We also introduced them to how computer vision and deep learning can help turn images into real decisions in the field.

The best part? The questions.

The students were curious, thoughtful, and fully engaged the entire time. Seeing that excitement and watching young minds connect agriculture with technology made the day incredibly rewarding.

Big thank you to the Fergus Agricultural Society for organizing such a meaningful event and creating opportunities for students to experience agriculture in a hands-on way.

You don’t lose 𝘆𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 at 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁.
You lose it weeks earlier—𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱.

By the time weak stands become visible from the cab, the opportunity to act may already be gone. 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗯𝘆-𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 turns early emergence into actionable insight.

Instead of walking rows and making decisions from samples, growers get a field-wide view of plant establishment—𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘄.

What does that unlock?

✅ 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲-𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 → Re-seed only the zones below threshold instead of writing off entire blocks. Reduce seed, fuel, and labor costs.
✅ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀 → Compare stand maps against as-planted data to detect skips, row unit failures, singulation issues, and population mismatches before they impact yield.
✅ 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 → Use emergence vigor as an early signal to direct first nitrogen applications where they can actually improve yield.
✅ 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → Generate timestamped, georeferenced stand maps that create defensible records of establishment performance.

Better decisions start with seeing what’s really happening in the field.

🌱 The future of agriculture starts with curiosity.

On 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟯𝗿𝗱, the 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝘄𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 will be joining 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 for Grade 5 Students, hosted by the 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆.

This event brings students closer to the world of agriculture through hands-on learning and real conversations about how food is grown, how farms operate, and how innovation is shaping the future of the industry.

We’re excited to be part of the day and contribute to inspiring the next generation of agricultural thinkers and problem solvers. During the event, our team will also introduce students to how 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 and 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 can help support smarter, more targeted field operations.

Looking forward to a great day of learning, exploration, and celebrating agriculture together.

We’re excited to share another step forward in our collaboration with Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC): advanced AI-powered detection and semantic segmentation of European Water Chestnut colonies in drone orthophotos.

Instead of only identifying individual plants, this phase focuses on accurately mapping dense colonies at the pixel level — helping conservation teams prioritize field operations, improve monitoring efficiency, and better understand invasive spread patterns across aquatic ecosystems.

By turning drone imagery into detailed geospatial intelligence, the Sairone platform helps reduce manual review time and supports faster, more scalable environmental decision-making.

A big thank you to the teams at Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and everyone involved in advancing this project alongside the Saiwa team. 👏
