PROJECTS
A selection of previous and current projects.
Feasibility Studies at FGV Jengka
On 15th February 2023, we were invited by FGV Holdings Bhd. to visit the Tun Razak Agricultural R&D Centre in Jengka, Pahang. This was the first of two feasibility studies we undertook to establish potential projects for oil palm pest and disease management and for improving operational efficiency with AI applications. This is ongoing work and we hope to provide updates on progress soon.
Pilot Project 2.0 - Ongoing
​After successfully demonstrating the effectiveness of our pest and disease control system, which was validated by Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), we continued the pilot project outlined below in Sungai Panjang, Selangor on 22nd March 2023. This second phase of the project is focusing on fine-tuning nutrition management throughout the growth cycle to significantly improve crop yields.
​PPNS and SFA: 1st Pilot Project
13th September 2022 marked the start of our first pilot project of our technology-led crop management system with Pertubuhan Peladang Negeri Selangor (PPNS), the state farming organisation of Selangor as our partner and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) conducting a parallel academic study to analyse the results. A total of 7 farmers, 12 ha in block F06 at Sungai Panjang, Selangor made up our project group, where we implemented full growth cycle seed and soil treatment with AI-driven pest and disease control. UPM concluded in their report that “SFA’s bio pesticide-based Crop Care 360 rice management system is highly effective at managing pest and disease in rice.” (UPM, 2023).
Integrated Pest Spraying Program Block ESQW 1.0
On 10th August 2022, the pilot project below was continued with additional integrated pest spraying work organized for the same blocks with more participants.
Integrated Pest Spraying Program Sawah Sempadan
On 15th February 2022, a pilot project with IADA Sawah Sempadan and Dwi Jutamas Sdn. Bhd. for integrated spraying work using Alanda and Steward in paddy blocks E, S, Q, and W at Sawah Sempadan, Selangor.
