Mutus Tech

AI-Powered Farm Intelligence for Sustainable Agriculture.

Mutus Tech combines Parallel Farm and Pezego to help farms, advisers and programme partners connect fertiliser planning, pest intelligence, crop monitoring, field tasks and evidence-ready reporting.

  • Fertiliser intelligence
  • Pest intelligence
  • Field workflows
  • Evidence-ready reporting

The scaling problem

Farm decisions stall when field data, crop observations and operational records are fragmented.

Assess

Field baseline incomplete

Soil tests, crop context, climate, NDVI, pest observations and management data are held in separate systems. The field baseline is rarely current when decisions are made.

Plan & act

Advice does not become traceable action

Fertiliser plans, pest observations and agronomic recommendations stay in PDFs, spreadsheets, messages or separate mobile tools — disconnected from the field they belong to.

Report

Evidence is hard to prove later

Input records, pest findings, NDVI timelines, task completion and reports live in fragments. It is hard to connect them back to the same field and season.

The Mutus approach

One field operating layer for crop, soil and farm intelligence.

The same digital field boundary links assessment, planning, execution, monitoring and reporting. Fertiliser plans, pest observations, NDVI timelines, farm tasks and evidence records stay linked to the field and season they belong to.

  1. 01 Assess

    Establish the field-level baseline — soil chemistry, crop context, climate, NDVI, pest observations and farm records — on one digital field boundary.

  2. 02 Plan

    Generate fertiliser plans, crop-health monitoring routines and seasonal field actions per field, with yield and environmental-performance estimates.

  3. 03 Execute

    Publish recommendations as Farm Tasks, capture mobile pest observations through Pezego, and log inputs, photos and completion in the field.

  4. 04 Monitor

    Track NDVI, crop condition, pest signals from Pezego, plan compliance and deviations within the season.

  5. 05 Report

    Compile field evidence for agronomists, farm groups, supply chains and project partners — linked back to the same field and season.

The digital field boundary is the unit at every stage, so evidence is created during the workflow rather than reconstructed after it.

This is the operating logic behind Parallel Farm and Pezego.

These product modules are supported by field records, pest image datasets, funded research and partner calibration — detailed below.

Data and research foundation

Built on field data, pest datasets and partner research.

131

Field records for platform calibration

Field-level soil, crop, climate and management records used for Parallel Farm calibration, research alignment and partner review. Dataset composition can be shared with partners during pilot and due diligence discussions.

10,000+

Annotated pest images

Collected from 20+ UK farms over two seasons across 38 pests and 10 field crops, supporting the Pezego pest identification research published in IEEE Internet of Things Journal.

£710K+

UKRI / Innovate UK award

Active Climate-Smart Fertiliser consortium project from January 2024 to September 2026, calibrating field-level nutrient planning with academic partners.

Boundary note

Datasets are used for research, model development and pilot calibration. Field-level outputs remain subject to agronomic context and partner validation. Soil health interpretation combines NDVI signals with soil tests and management records. Carbon Footprint figures are environmental performance estimates, not self-issued MRV or carbon credit certification.

Validation

Research-backed, partner-calibrated, externally profiled.
