Sesi Technologies, a Ghanaian-owned Agritech company, has launched its AI-powered soil testing services, designed to give smallholder farmers precise, actionable soil intelligence that improves crop yields, reduces input waste, and strengthens farm profitability.<\/p>\n

The new service combines advanced soil analysis, field mapping, detailed reporting, and tailored nutrient recommendations into a single professional offering.<\/p>\n

Soil health is a critical constraint for smallholder farmers across Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa. This is worsened by the impacts of climate change and other environmental factors.<\/p>\n

But traditional soil testing is costly, time-consuming, and often inaccessible to smallholders.<\/p>\n

FarmSense changes this narrative, translating raw data from professional, on-field soil testing directly to farms, backed by artificial intelligence into practical advice.<\/p>\n

The soil testing service package includes:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Field mapping and GPS coordinates for accurate field boundary data.
\u25cf Detailed soil health reports highlighting key parameters such as pH, texture, NPK nutrient levels, organic matter content, moisture and temperature.
\u25cf Crop-specific nutrient management plans that recommend what inputs to apply, how much, and when.<\/p>\n

FarmSense works by sending trained field agents equipped with rugged, portable soil testing devices to the farmer\u2019s land.<\/p>\n

These devices capture essential soil characteristics in minutes.<\/p>\n

The data is analysed using AI and machine learning to deliver precise nutrient recommendations that help farmers make informed decisions rather than relying on guesswork.<\/p>\n

CEO of Sesi Technologies, Isaac Sesi, explained the motive for developing the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe built this service because farmers repeatedly tell us they do not know what their soil truly needs before applying fertiliser. FarmSense delivers clarity. It tells you exactly what your soil needs for your crop, saving money on inputs while increasing output,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The launch represents a significant step in making data-driven agriculture accessible to the smallholder farmer.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy eliminating guesswork, the service helps optimise fertiliser use, improve soil health over time, and support sustainable intensification of farms,\u201d he added.
Sesi Technologies is an agritech company focused on empowering farmers with innovative technologies to help them increase productivity and reduce losses.<\/p>\n

FarmSense is part of the company\u2019s mission to transform agriculture in Africa through data, artificial intelligence, and locally relevant technology solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
