ICLeaf is a cutting-edge system of expert guidance, recommendations, and foliar assessments that keeps farmers up to date on pesticide management. The number of different nutrients in the leaves of the crops can be analyzed with the use of XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) and NIR (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) equipment in the ICLeaf laboratory, and scientific studies will be sent to the farmers through crop advisors.

Nutrient deficiency elimination methods will be mentioned in the crop advisory report. In addition, nutrient management at different phases of crop growth can be done precisely according to the crop's requirements through ICLeaf.

Compared to the previous approach, this technique greatly simplifies the precise and speedy diagnosis of foliar nutrients and management of crop fertilizers.

Ananth Kulkarni, CEO, and President of ICL India urged the farmers to grab this opportunity by informing them of the company's initiatives and products.

 ICL's vision is to develop innovative products and impactful solutions to meet all life stages and transform the world for a healthier and sustainable future.
