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.
Mutus Tech
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.
The scaling problem
Assess
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
Fertiliser plans, pest observations and agronomic recommendations stay in PDFs, spreadsheets, messages or separate mobile tools — disconnected from the field they belong to.
Report
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
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.
Establish the field-level baseline — soil chemistry, crop context, climate, NDVI, pest observations and farm records — on one digital field boundary.
Generate fertiliser plans, crop-health monitoring routines and seasonal field actions per field, with yield and environmental-performance estimates.
Publish recommendations as Farm Tasks, capture mobile pest observations through Pezego, and log inputs, photos and completion in the field.
Track NDVI, crop condition, pest signals from Pezego, plan compliance and deviations within the season.
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.
Our products
Parallel Farm manages field workflows and evidence. Pezego brings mobile pest and crop intelligence into the same operating record. Both are supported by Mutus Tech's shared AI, data and reporting platform.
Field operating platform
Generate field-level NPKS plans, run N-rate sensitivity checks, publish recommendations as farm tasks, capture NDVI timelines and keep applied inputs, crop observations and reports linked to the same field record.

Live modules
These are real surfaces across Parallel Farm and Pezego — not concepts. Screenshots throughout are taken from the production environment.
Field operating platform
Generate a 12-month N/P/K/S plan per field, with yield and grain-quality estimates for review and adjustment.
Planning
Economic sensitivity checks around an agronomically derived N rate when fertiliser or grain prices change.
Planning
Per-polygon vegetation-vigour timelines using Sentinel-2 Copernicus imagery, refreshed approximately every five days subject to cloud cover.
Monitoring
Recommendations published as field-level work orders with timing, rate, owner and status.
Execution
Per-field temperature, rainfall and radiation history feeding plan assumptions and review.
Monitoring
Per-field GHG estimation from fertiliser, fuel and machinery use to support environmental-performance review. Not self-issued MRV or carbon-credit certification.
Evidence
AI crop and pest intelligence
In-field photo capture and AI-supported pest identification with confidence scoring, anchored to a configured pest taxonomy for the deployment region.
Capture
Combine pest findings with crop, growth stage, location and seasonal weather context for field-level review.
Monitoring
Pest observation
Fall armyworm
Maize · V6 (vegetative)
GPS-linked, weather-stamped pest observations saved as structured records that can feed adviser review, Parallel Farm tasks and partner reporting.
Evidence
These product modules are supported by field records, pest image datasets, funded research and partner calibration — detailed below.
Data and research foundation
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.

Work with us
We are prioritising pilots where fertiliser planning, pest observations and evidence reporting can be tested on defined fields within one season — alongside three kinds of partners.
01
Farms, farm groups and smallholder programmes ready to run fertiliser planning, pest observations, crop monitoring and reporting on defined fields for one season.
02
Agronomists, soil advisers, crop-protection specialists, certifiers and standards bodies to co-design evidence workflows that plug into partner-validated reviews.
03
Buyers, funders and public-sector programmes ready to convert field-level fertiliser, pest and crop-health evidence into follow-on commitments.
