At Sencrop, we are a passionate team dedicated to making a real impact in agriculture.

Sencrop empowers ALL farmers to make the right decisions at the right time to improve their yields, and ultimately their way of life.
Sencrop allows agri-partners (resellers, chemical companies, technical centers, etc.) to spread their services with ultra-local information, and get a closer relationship with the farmers.

Our solution gives farmers the ability to:

View the current conditions of their fields in real time.
Make better agronomic decisions thanks to ultra-local weather information.
Have more interaction with their partners based on streaming data.

Thanks to low-power, long-range networks, and affordable, connected sensors, in-field data streams continuously into the Sencrop cloud platform.
Sencrop has developed a web and mobile-based platform to:

View in-field ag-weather conditions in real time.
Access or push alerts and decision-making tools.
Connect and fuel in any agry-partners services based on in-field data.connected to in-field sensors.

Sencrop is dedicated to bringing valuable precision farming services to farmers everywhere.

Sencrop is compatible with all agronomic Decision support tools and disease models: data integration to cooperatives/merchant’s agronomic models (disease prediction, pest management, stage of plant growth, etc.). We allow agri-partners to spread their services.
Sencrop is a collaborative platform enabling any farmer to share their data/observation with their ag-experts, partners or neighbours.
Low-power, large area network: a young technology but a global trend.

Today, Sencrop is building the largest customer base in Europe with powerful cloud and key partnerships.

Sencrop is particularly adapted to the potato growers and permits to predict the late blight disease, based on agronomic developed by key partners.

Reduce the amount of back and forth trips a farmer make to spray its crops; offset treatments by several days if necessary: local data relayed from the connected ag-weather station in real time are invaluable for deciding how to treat crops when risk factors for disease are present. Late blight growth is stimulated by successive periods of warm weather and high humidity. Water on potato leaves prompts blight zoospores to germinate and causes plants to become infected.

Sencrop enables you to anticipate and program a system of simple alerts. Sencrop can fuel data into any decisionmaking tool that makes it possible to know the risk of the fields being infected by late blight at any time, based on weather forecasts, crop varieties, planting, and sprouting dates, overall health statuses and previous actions taken (treatments and irrigation, etc).

CropTec 2017

ALWAYS exercise best practice when applying clethodim, is the message for growers hoping to effectively tackle black-grass in oilseed rape crops this coming season.

Using the correct water rate, applying with a water conditioner and ensuring the blackgrass is actively growing, are just some of the factors that contribute to optimum control.

Due to the need to drill oilseed rape early, implementing the highly-endorsed stale seedbed control method is not an option, making the efficacy of blackgrass herbicides such as clethodim, even more crucial.

Arysta LifeScience Product Development & Technical Manager for UK & Ireland, Don Pendergrast said: “Oilseed rape needs a warm soil to encourage correct establishment, which gives the crop a head-start against migrating pests such as cabbage stem flea beetle.

“This means that delaying drilling to allow grass weeds to chit is not an option. Instead, using chemistry such as clethodim correctly, as part of a wider black-grass programme, offers consistent and better control.

“Apply clethodim at a steady speed through medium to fine droplets with the correct water rate of 200l/ha – this is essential for good weed coverage. Because clethodim is formulated with adjuvant technology, using additional adjuvants is not recommended, but we do however, recommend the use of a water conditioner, particularly in hard water areas.

“Unlike many black-grass control products, it’s important to avoid spraying too early. Growers should aim to target the plant when it has three leaves, to improve the uptake of the chemistry.”

Launched four years ago by Arysta LifeScience, Centurion Max is a leading 120g/l clethodim-based product, active on black-grass.

Following feedback from users and trials at Arysta LifeScience, changes to the stewardship have been made to enhance the use-ability of the product. This includes reducing the no-spray window from 14-days to 10-days prior to applying Centurion Max.

Post application, a 14-day no-spray period is in place for herbicides and fungicides, and a 7-day period for nutritional products and insecticides.

Mr Pendergrast added: “Following detailed trials work, we are pleased to be able to adjust the stewardship of Centurion Max in recognition of the importance of nutritional products in crop establishment.

“We will continue to research clethodim so that we can give users improved flexibility, without compromising on crop safety.”

CropTec 2017

Join Arysta LifeScience this November at The CropTec Show.

Registration is free for all those who pre-register before the event.

Forward-thinking farmers and agronomists will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of novel science and innovative technology when the CropTec show returns to Peterborough at the end of November.

CropTec is now recognised as one of the key diary dates in the arable calendar, gaining a reputation as the UK’s leading knowledge exchange event in the sector.

Farmers and their advisers are attracted by CropTec’s unique informal atmosphere that creates the ideal forum to exchange ideas and experiences, according to Elisabeth Mork-Eidem, group head of events at Briefing Media, which organises the CropTec show.

“Content and knowledge exchange will remain the focus of CropTec. We want to build on being the show where visitors come armed with questions and leave with useful practical advice on how to become better at what they do,” she said.

“We would urge all those farmers and agronomists who are looking to the future to come to Peterborough in November to discuss adaptation of new technology, cutting edge agronomy and best business practices.

“They can get that advice from networking with like-minded industry peers, from the well researched, topical seminars and from visiting the exhibition hall and having the right conversations with relevant companies who have brought their best technical staff.”

CropTec’s key features include the trade stand exhibition which features a wide range of innovative products and thinking.

The popular seminar programme returns, featuring over a dozen leading speakers covering the four key technical areas of crop breeding, crop establishment, crop nutrition and crop protection. Seminar content is based on feedback and extensive research with farmers and agronomists to ensure it is both relevant and timely.

Four knowledge hubs, which consist of short, sharp presentations delivering key-take away messages, will also feature at CropTec 2017. The popular black-grass hub returns, and three new hubs covering oilseed rape quality and weed management, biostimulants, and data & analytics also feature.

CropTec also includes a sprayer demo area where visitors can drive some of the most advanced sprayers in the market.

New for 2017 alongside the hubs is a Farm Innovation Zone, where visitors can speak to a range of leading agritech innovators.

Adama Agricultural Solutions returns as CropTec headline sponsor. “We are once again extremely pleased to be the headline sponsor for what we are sure will be another exceptionally successful CropTec show,” said Ali Bosher, marketing director for Adama.

“With a wide selection of industry-leading speakers covering a range of technical, practical and business issues, CropTec provides the perfect opportunity for farmers, agronomists and professional spray operators to learn more about the very latest developments in crop establishment, protection, nutrition, and yield enhancement.

“We look forward to the 2017 event and are proud to be able to support such a focused, professional and well-targeted event.”

A maximium of six BASIS and six NRoSO points are available each day. FACTS CPD points will also be available.

The CropTec show is free for visitors to attend, provided tickets are booked in advance.

The event will take place at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, on Wednesday 29^th and Thursday 30^th November.

Tickets to attend are FREE providing you pre-register in advance: BOOK NOW
