Picketa Systems Inc.
Picketa Systems offers real-time plant analysis for precision nutrient management. The portable LENS device transforms nutrient assessment, empowering agronomists and farmers with rapid, accurate insights to optimize crop health and yields. The device scans fresh plant tissue in the field and uses advanced spectroscopy with AI models to instantly measure key nutrient levels across multiple crops. Results are processed on our Fieldbook platform, where nutrient trends, deficiencies, and growth stage benchmarks are automatically analyzed. This enables agronomists to make in-season fertilizer decisions with lab-level confidence, helping the fertilizer industry deliver the right nutrients, at the right time, with measurable ROI. Insights are shared instantly via mobile or desktop, allowing agronomists to review, export, and act on recommendations with growers in real time.
Your IFA Innovation Platform Profile
What collaboration are we looking for?
We are seeking collaborations on research field trials and large-scale commercial trials across key agricultural regions. Priority crops include potatoes, corn, canola, soybeans, and wheat, with additional interest in specialty crops where nutrient management is a high-value driver. These trials help validate and calibrate the LENS for new crops, confirm accuracy across diverse climates and soil conditions, and demonstrate the technology’s value in real-world agronomic programs. Partnerships can involve side-by-side lab comparisons, in-season nutrient management studies, or integration with broader input and seed research programs.
What solutions and opportunities are we offering?
Initial new crop LENS trials involve collecting paired plant tissue samples in the field — one scanned instantly with the LENS and one sent to a certified lab for analysis. These trials are run across multiple growth stages, varieties, and environmental conditions to build robust calibration models for each crop. By integrating lab-verified results with LENS spectral data, we continuously improve accuracy and expand crop coverage. The benefits for collaborators include early access to cutting-edge nutrient management technology, co-branded research demonstrating agronomic ROI, and the opportunity to shape how real-time plant analysis is deployed in their region.
