Mutus Tech

Soil Health & Fertiliser Intelligence for Productive Farms.

Mutus Tech turns soil, crop, climate, satellite and farm activity data into 12-month fertiliser plans, field tasks and evidence-ready records for sustainable farming.

  • Spatial · field-level intelligence
  • 12-month NPKS plan
  • Evidence-ready records

The scaling problem

Fertiliser decisions stall because the farm workflow is fragmented in three places.

Assess

Baseline missing

Soil tests, crop context, NDVI and weather data are sampled in different systems. The field baseline is rarely current when fertiliser decisions are made.

Plan / Execute

Plan not executed at field

Recommendations sit in PDFs and spreadsheets. Farmers, agronomists and managers work from different plans, dates and field boundaries.

Report

Evidence not decision-ready

Input records, task completion, NDVI, yield forecasts and reports live in fragments. It is hard to prove what was recommended, applied and changed.

The Mutus approach

One operating layer for soil health and fertiliser decisions.

The same field polygon threads Assess → Plan → Execute → Monitor → Report. Every season's report data refines the next plan.

  1. 01 Assess

    Establish the field-level baseline — crop, soil chemistry, climate, NDVI and records — on one polygon, with cyclic refresh.

  2. 02 Plan

    Generate a 12-month N/P/K/S plan with yield and environmental-performance estimates for that polygon.

  3. 03 Execute

    Publish recommendations as Farm Tasks and push notifications with photo, input and completion logging.

  4. 04 Monitor

    Track NDVI, crop condition, plan compliance and optional biotic-stress signals — deviation flagged within the season.

  5. 05 Report

    Compile field evidence for agronomists, farm groups, supply chains and standards partners.

The same field polygon is the unit at every stage — so evidence is created during the workflow, not reconstructed after it.

Live modules

Built modules in use today.

These are real surfaces in the Parallel Farm platform — not concepts. Screenshots throughout are taken from the production environment.

  • Annual Prediction screen

    Annual Prediction

    12-month N/P/K/S plan per field, with yield and grain-composition estimates.

  • N Calculator screen

    N Calculator

    Economic sensitivity checks around an agronomically derived N rate when fertiliser or grain prices change.

  • NDVI Analysis screen

    NDVI Analysis

    Per-polygon vegetation-vigour timeline using Sentinel-2 Copernicus imagery; refresh every ~5 days, subject to cloud cover.

  • Farm Tasks screen

    Farm Tasks

    Recommendations published as field-level work orders with timing, rate, owner and status.

  • Climate History screen

    Climate History

    Per-field temperature, rainfall and radiation history feeding plan assumptions and review.

  • Carbon Footprint screen

    Carbon Footprint

    Per-field GHG estimation from fertiliser, fuel and machinery use — environmental-performance estimation, not self-issued MRV.

Data and research foundation

What our recommendations are built on — and where we draw the line.

131

Mapped UK farm records

Field-level data observed in the platform dataset — soil profiles, climate context, crop and management records. UK / Ghana pilot-demo split documented for partner due diligence.

10,000+

Annotated pest images

Collected from 20+ UK farms over two seasons across 38 pests and 10 field crops; underpins the PEZEGO IEEE IoT Journal paper.

£710K+

UKRI / Innovate UK award

Active Climate-Smart Fertiliser consortium project (Jan 2024 – Sep 2026), calibrating field-level nutrient planning with academic partners.

Datasets are used for research, model development and pilot calibration. Field recommendations 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.

Work with us

Interested in a field trial or research partnership?

We're actively looking for three kinds of partners to scale from pilot fields to farm-group-grade evidence.

  • 01

    One-season soil-health pilot partners

    Productive farms, farm groups or smallholder programmes ready to run the full Assess → Plan → Execute → Monitor → Report loop on defined fields for one season.

  • 02

    Standards, agronomy & validation partners

    Certifiers, agronomists, soil advisers and standards bodies to co-design outcome packs so our data plugs into partner-validated evidence workflows.

  • 03

    Supply-chain, programme & funding partners

    Buyers, funders and public-sector programmes ready to convert partner-validated nutrient-efficiency and soil-health outcomes into follow-on commitments.
