Maximize seed ROI: early stress-resilient variety selection
Elvita brand foliar fertilizers bridge the gap between scientific research and practical farming. Their team of specialized experts works directly with producers to transform field observations into optimized, ready-to-use technologies. Under the Elplon brand, they offer a proprietary line of foliar and granular fertilizers and plant protection products tailored to specific crop needs.
Using PIX4Dfields, Elvita was able to analyze maize variety trials and identify top-performing maize varieties and high-quality seeds months before harvest - providing a significant competitive advantage.
Solving the challenge of unpredictable weather
At the start of the maize growing season in Poland, a period of low temperatures negatively impacted crop development across the region. To ensure accurate results despite these conditions, Elvita established variety trials across several different locations. The challenge was to continuously monitor and compare these diverse sites to see which varieties handled the cold and site-specific stresses best. Elvita needed a solution that could handle data from multiple projects and fields as well as provide deep analytical insights throughout the entire growing season.
Early seed variety tolerance with PIX4Dfields
By utilizing multispectral imagery and the powerful precision agriculture tools of PIX4Dfields, the team compared grain maize varieties grown in both standard field conditions and specialized variety trials throughout the 2025 growing season.
The software allowed them to:
Compare vegetation indices: by analyzing indices generated in minutes and offline in PIX4Dfields, they immediately identified varieties with superior stress tolerance.
Speed up decision - making: by identifying the most resilient varieties well before harvest data was available, they were able to finalize their commercial portfolio ahead of the sales season
Create precise maps: beyond analysis, they used the software to generate prescription maps for machinery operating in the trial fields.

Faster results, better recommendations
The ability to process image data of various fields and trial plots in just a few hours allowed Elvita to maintain a continuous and detailed analysis of the 20 - hectare project area throughout the maize growing season in Poland.
The primary advantage of PIX4Dfields was its flexibility in managing multiple projects across various locations. This allowed for detailed, site-specific analysis alongside the generation of actionable prescription maps for spot spraying and Variable Rate Application (VRA). These outputs are ready-to-use with any type of agricultural machinery, ensuring a seamless transition from trial data to field application.
Ultimately, Elvita brand granular fertilizers verified their recommendations with scientific data, ensuring that the foliar fertilizers, plant protection products, and seeds offered under the Elplon brand granular fertilizers are tailored to withstand real-world environmental stresses. By identifying the most resilient varieties early, they finalized their commercial offering before the start of the sales season—without having to wait for final yield results. Additionally, they evaluated varieties for resistance to specific weather-related stresses and site conditions, providing a data-backed guarantee of performance.
“PIX4Dfields is a tool that helps us analyze our recommended solutions as early as the field trial stage. The results gathered are instrumental in selecting the varieties, plant protection programs, and cultivation technologies for our commercial offering.”Paweł Czarnecki, Technologist at Elvita
