The problem we are removing
BSR, caused by Ganoderma boninense, devastates oil palms and results in yield losses of 50–80%. In Indonesia and Malaysia, the infestation rate is 30–52% across 22 million hectares, accounting for 92% of global palm oil production.
  • Diagnosis of oil palm diseases
    Using hyperspectral analysis and AI to detect diseases early before visible symptoms appear.
  • Monitoring the condition of plantations
    Using satellites and UAVs for population screening and block-level confirmation.
What does the system do?
GDT creates an AI model that identifies BSR 6-12 months before symptoms appear and identifies trees for inspection. It is delivered as software and is controlled by an operator.
  • Early diagnosis of BSR
    Detection of Ganoderma boninense disease before the onset of visible symptoms using hyperspectral analysis.
  • Satellite screening
    Marking suspicious blocks on the plantation for further inspection.
  • Block-level confirmation
    UAV flights
    Hyperspectral analysis to confirm the presence of the disease in marked areas.
  • Ground monitoring
    IoT-sensors
    Using electronic noses to detect volatile compounds that indicate disease.
How the plantation uses this
Satellite screening creates a heat map of the risk of suspicious blocks. UAVs and IoT sensors operate only in marked zones. Agronomists receive a list with a confidence score and recommended actions months before symptoms appear.
  • Integration of satellite data
    Using satellite imagery to monitor agricultural land conditions and identify potential problems.
  • Hyperspectral analysis with UAVs
    Detailed analysis of plant health using drones equipped with hyperspectral cameras.
  • IoT-sensors for monitoring
    Using IoT technologies for continuous monitoring of plant health and detection of signs of disease.
  • Analysis
    Intelligent data fusion model
    Create a unified model that combines data from various sources to more accurately identify problems.
  • Recommendations
    Support for agronomists
    Providing agronomists with accurate data and recommendations for timely crop protection measures.
  • Planning
    Creating an action map
    Development of a detailed action map for effective management of agricultural processes.
Tariffs by service levels
Price Coverage: Satellite - 5 ha/year; UAV hyperspectrum - 25 hectares flight; IoT - 35 hectares inspection.

Data collection

Satellite screening covers the plantation on a large scale and identifies suspicious blocks.
Data merging
Combining information from various sources to create an AI model that detects disease.
Diagnosis
The AI ​​model provides a tree-level diagnosis and confidence score.
Action
Agronomists receive a list of trees with recommendations for further actions to prevent the spread of the disease.
Value for the operator
The value driver is the protected yield. The table is based on assumptions. Exact figures are confirmed in the pilot. The method is: preserved value per hectare, revenue per hectare, yield loss without treatment, and the proportion of loss recovered by early intervention.
  • Risk map
    Create a risk map with green, yellow and red zones based on data analysis.
  • List of priority trees
    Providing a list of trees requiring immediate attention and intervention.
  • Recommendations for action
    Developing and providing recommendations for managing phytopathological threats based on data analysis.
  • Dynamics over time
    Real-time monitoring and analysis of the dynamics of phytopathological threats.
  • Reports for management
    Prepare reports for management that include information on prevented losses in dollars and hectares.
  • Accompaniment by an agronomist
    Providing agronomic support and advice for effective management of phytopathological threats.
Why is this important at the national level
Protecting palm oil: Early detection protects crops and foreign exchange, while EUDR compliance increases the value of monitoring.
  • High precision
    Each AI prediction is verified against laboratory PCR, ensuring an accuracy of ≥90% on an independent sample.
  • Scientific approach
    The system was developed in collaboration with an academic institute for signals and ML, which guarantees its scientific validity.
  • Partnership with MPOB and BRIN
    The GDT system works in conjunction with MPOB and BRIN, confirming its compliance with high industry standards.
What we offer
Free 3-month pilot for 2000 hectares with no financial obligations. Fast track to evidence-based solution and LOI upon success.
  • Early detection of the disease
    The GDT system detects BSR disease 6-12 months before visible symptoms appear.
  • Saving resources
    GDT allows agronomists to focus on specific trees for inspection, reducing monitoring time and costs.
  • Scalability
    The system can be adapted to work in various areas, from individual blocks to entire holdings.
  • Reducing crop losses
    Early diagnosis and timely intervention can significantly reduce crop losses from the disease.
