Built for Moroccan agriculture

Detect crop stress early with multispectral drones and GIS so Moroccan farmers and researchers can act precisely. Moroccan agriculture faces water scarcity, rising input costs, and climate stress—we help you see problems early and optimize treatments.

The problem

  • Traditional crop monitoring is manual, slow, subjective, and misses early non-visible stress.
  • Farmers react too late—treatments are uniform, expensive, and harmful to the environment.
  • Researchers and nurseries rely on manual scouting, limiting scalability of trials.

Science behind it

Our work rests on: Biology & plant science, Environmental science, Physics & biophysics, Applied math & computer science, GIS & remote sensing, Scientific visualization.

Phytophthora in avocado (El Gharb)

How we detected stress early and enabled targeted treatment.

Before

Avocado orchards faced root-rot (Phytophthora) with early, invisible stress. Traditional scouting would have been slow and subjective.

Action

Multispectral flights detected subtle NDVI declines. FilahaTech mapped stress zones and advised targeted phosphonate treatments and drainage fixes.

After

Early intervention prevented spread, reduced replanting, saved treatment costs, and protected yield.

  1. Context

    Avocado orchards in El Gharb; root-rot (Phytophthora), early invisible stress.

  2. Action

    Multispectral flights detected subtle NDVI declines; we mapped stress zones and advised targeted phosphonate treatments and drainage fixes.

  3. Impact

    Early intervention prevented spread, reduced replanting, saved treatment costs, and protected yield.

30–70% treated area reduction

Compared to blanket spray — less waste, better timing.

Impact summary

  • Treated area reduction30–70%
  • Treatment cost savingsvs blanket spray
  • Detection lead time5–15 days earlier

Trusted by the field

FilahaTech helped us see stress zones we would have missed. We treated only what was needed and cut input costs significantly.

Farm partner

Meknès region

Their multispectral maps gave us a clear picture of water stress across the entire orchard — we optimized irrigation and saved water every season.
