KWS is further expanding the integration of Agvolution's agmeo AI platform to provide farmers with even more precise and practice-oriented agronomic decision-making support. At the heart of the extended partnership is the integration of Agvolution’s environmental data and AI crop models into the myKWS tools and services. This gives farmers a comprehensive digital assistant that supports them in optimizing yields, input use, and day-to-day decisions.
The digital platform myKWS accompanies farmers throughout all agronomic stages – from sowing to crop monitoring and harvesting. Available in around 30 countries, the platform is continuously being enhanced and enables data driven decision-making for every single field. With the integration of Agvolution’s satellite data, crop intelligence and modeling technology, myKWS becomes even more precise in delivering site‑specific recommendations tailored to crop, location, and growth stage.
“We are delighted to have found a strong partner in Agvolution, which started as a start-up here in our life sciences-region in the south of lower saxony in 2020,” says Stephan Krings, Head of Global Marketing and Communications at KWS. “myKWS recommendations, empowered by Agvolution’s data, will help farmers use agricultural inputs even more efficiently and sustainably while optimizing yields with our seeds.”
Andreas Heckmann, Managing Director of Agvolution, also highlights the added value of the extended agmeo AI integration: “We are proud to support KWS's digital services worldwide through our agmeo AI platform. We transform fragmented field data into actionable insights - delivering real value directly to farmers worldwide.”

Digitale Landwirtschaft im Fokus: KWS vertieft die Integration von Agvolution’s agmeo AI platform in myKWS
KWS baut die bestehende Integration von Agvolution’s agmeo KI-Plattform weiter aus, um Landwirtinnen und Landwirten noch präzisere, früher verfügbare und praxisnahe agronomische Entscheidungshilfen zu bieten. Herzstück der erweiterten Zusammenarbeit ist die direkte Integration von Agvolution‘s Umweltdaten und AI-Pflanzenmodellen in die Tools und Services der myKWS Plattform. Als umfassender digitaler Assistent unterstützt myKWS die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer bei der Optimierung von Erträgen, dem Einsatz von Betriebsmitteln sowie alltäglichen Entscheidungen.
Das digitale Serviceportal myKWS begleitet Landwirtinnen und Landwirte durch das gesamte Anbaujahr – von Bodenbearbeitung und Aussaat über Monitoring bis hin zur Ernte. Die in rund 30 Ländern verfügbare Plattform wird kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt und ermöglicht datenbasierte Entscheidungen für jede einzelne Fläche. Durch die Integration der Satellitendaten, Pflanzeninformationen und Modellierungstechnologie von Agvolution wird myKWS nun noch präziser und liefert standortgenaue Empfehlungen für die jeweilige Kulturart und Wachstumsphase.
„Wir freuen uns, mit Agvolution einen starken Partner gefunden zu haben, der 2020 als Start-up hier in unserer Life-Sciences-Region im Süden Niedersachsens gestartet ist“, sagt Stephan Krings, Leiter Global Marketing und Communications bei KWS. „Die durch Agvolution’s Daten gestützten myKWS-Empfehlungen helfen den Landwirtinnen und Landwirten dabei, Ressourcen noch effizienter und nachhaltiger zu nutzen und ihre Erträge mit unserem Saatgut zu optimieren.“
Auch Andreas Heckmann, Geschäftsführer von Agvolution, betont den Mehrwert der Kooperation: „Wir sind stolz darauf, die digitalen Services von KWS weltweit durch unsere agmeo KI‑Plattform zu unterstützen. Gemeinsam machen wir aus fragmentierten Felddaten umsetzbare Erkenntnisse – und liefern so den Landwirtinnen und Landwirten einen echten Mehrwert.“
