Dotasara Agrotech

Know your field before you spend on it.

A farmer in India decides what to put into a plot, and when to spray it — usually on guesswork, or on a report that arrives weeks after the window it was meant to guide. We design and build the instruments that answer those two questions in the field, and the plain-language software that turns an answer into a costed decision.

  • Designed and built in India
  • No mains, no signal required
  • English and हिन्दी throughout

Both instruments are in field validation ahead of certification. We are running pilots with farmers, FPOs and KVKs now.

Built on published agronomy, not guesswork

We are a young company with no track record to point at yet. So instead of testimonials, here is exactly what the advice rests on — and where it stops.

  • Grounded in published Indian agronomy

    Soil advice follows ICAR and Soil Health Card guidance; pest advice follows CIB&RC-registered labels and the SAU, KVK and NPSS chain. Either way the app shows you the source.

  • Every dose capped at a safe maximum

    Before any quantity reaches your screen it is checked against a source-backed limit. Over-application is refused, not rounded.

  • Built for fields with no infrastructure

    No mains, no Wi-Fi, no assumption of a signal. PHYTOSPEX works entirely offline against your phone; ENTOVE runs on solar and holds its counts until it can send them.

  • English and हिन्दी throughout

    Not a translated afterthought — both languages were built in from the first screen, including the manual.

What we make

Instruments, and the advice that makes them useful

A reading on its own does not grow anything. Every device we build is paired with software that turns the measurement into a specific, costed action — how much of which input, when, and what it will cost for your plot.

Measure in the field

Our instruments take the measurement where the crop is — soil read directly at the plot; pest pressure counted in the plot, night after night. No sample posting, no lab queue, no waiting for a report.

Advice you can act on

Readings become a ranked plan — which input, how much per acre, when to apply — grounded in ICAR and Soil Health Card guidance, with the sources shown.

Built for real conditions

Works fully offline, in English and हिन्दी, on an entry-level phone. Sunlight-readable, and designed to be usable if reading is hard.

The instruments

Two devices, each answering one question a farmer is already spending money on: what this plot needs, and what is eating it.

PHYTOSPEX

Field-portable soil spectrometer

  • A soil reading in minutes, at the plot, without posting a sample
  • Fertilizer advice as a ranked, costed plan per acre — not raw numbers
  • Works entirely offline; English and हिन्दी throughout

ENTOVE

Solar pest-surveillance trap

  • A counted, photographed catch every night — without anyone walking out to the trap
  • Pest pressure as a trend you can watch building, with an alert when it crosses the published threshold
  • Geo-tagged and timestamped, so counts stay comparable across plots and across seasons

How we build

A field instrument for Indian agriculture is a different problem from a laboratory instrument. These are the constraints we design to, and they are settled before anything else is.

Built for the field, not the bench

Heat, dust, monsoon, pole vibration, and a season of being left alone. Parts are specified with margin rather than to the edge of their rating, because an instrument that fails in a field produces no data and spends trust it cannot earn back.

No infrastructure assumed

No mains, no Wi-Fi, no assumption of a mobile signal. PHYTOSPEX works entirely offline against a phone; ENTOVE runs on solar and holds its counts until it has a link to send them over.

Indian crops, Indian sources, Indian languages

The pests, the crops, the thresholds and the agronomic sources are the ones in use here, and both languages were built in from the first screen. This is not a Western instrument with a translation layer added at the end.

Nothing is sold before it is certified

Both instruments are in field validation and completing the certification each needs. Until that is finished we place pilots, publish no price, and take no orders — including from people who would like to give us one.

What we will not claim

PHYTOSPEX is an optical instrument, not a chemistry laboratory: it is being validated against accredited lab results, and until that study is complete it reports values with a confidence range and says so plainly in the app. ENTOVE counts the pests that come to it, which is a trend in pressure — not a census of your field, and never a count per plant. In both cases we would rather tell you where a reading stops than sell you a number you cannot trust.

Who we build for

Farmers

A per-plot answer in minutes, in your language, without needing a data connection.

FPOs & cooperatives

One instrument serving many member plots, with records kept per farmer and per season.

KVKs & institutions

Field-extension tooling with exportable records and Soil Health Card-aligned output.

We are placing units with farmers this season

Pilots are open to farmers, FPOs, KVKs and agricultural institutions. If you would like to try one, or just want to ask something, we read every message.
