Dow AgroSciences, Coherent Ag Solutions
Partner on New Stewardship Technology for Farmers
Farmers will soon have a convenient way to advance stewardship
programs for their crop chemicals, thanks to an exclusive license
agreement between Coherent Ag Solutions and Dow AgroSciences LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW).
Patented application technology from Dow AgroSciences will be
incorporated into AgSteward™, a cloud-based crop protection
stewardship system offered by Coherent Ag Solutions. The technology
combination will enable a new level of capability for the industry,
helping farmers manage increasingly complicated protocols designed
to protect the environment.
The AgSteward system provides actionable information with the
touch of a button. For example, this interface brings together
information on geospatial proximity to surrounding fields,
susceptible crops, waterways, and sensitive habitats to help the
farmer apply the labeled-use specifications of crop protection
products. It incorporates real-time data feeds from third-party
crop registries, habitat and waterway repositories as well as
weather services. The result is a dynamically generated map
featuring product-specific requirements, thus enhancing stewardship
programs. Coherent Ag Solutions will widely market AgSteward as a
cloud-based web-service to allow for ease of integration with
existing software systems for the crop protection industry.
“Product stewardship has always been a priority at Dow
AgroSciences, and our patented technology illustrates we are always
looking for new ways to move to the next level in helping farmers
manage products to benefit the environment,” says Ramiro De La
Cruz, Vice President, Crop Protection, Dow AgroSciences. “Working
with Don Jackson, an experienced software provider and expert in
this field and the team at Coherent Ag Solutions, will help this
technology be broadly utilized by farmers who strive to be stewards
of the environment as they raise the food that goes on our
tables.”
“The complex environmental and operating conditions faced by
those applying crop protection products requires sophisticated, yet
simple to use, technology,” says Don Jackson, President and CEO,
Coherent Ag Solutions. “We are excited to widely offer AgSteward as
a cloud-based web-service that can be easily integrated into
existing crop protection systems, allowing for simple adoption and
deployment for growers and applicators, and further enhancing their
stewardship activities.”
