*Commercial trial runs across 7 farms at 10 acres each confirmed 50-70% reduction of Nitrogen fertilizer with just 8 split applications.

Supported By

Agriculture is in crisis

At present, 2/3 of the fertilizer is unused and wasted causing 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (2.6 Gt CO2 annually)

Over 80% of agricultural land affected by chemical overuse

Agricultural runoff is the leading cause in the US, impacting over 100,000 miles of waterways

Aging farmer population, with over 1 million operators aged 65+

Larger machinery increasing soil compaction, fuel consumption, and operational costs

OUR SOLUTION

Simple robots designed to assist farmers

Cost Savings

  • Reduces Nitrogen fertilizer use by up to 70%
  • Proven from sandy to clay to loam soils
  • Saves up to $150 per acre for corn growers

Better Yields

  • Every dollar spent on fertilizer goes directly to yield with 20+ splits instead of 1-2 bulk applications
  • Delivers nutrients when plants need them based on real-time plant, soil and weather data
  • Healthier plants mean higher disease resistance

Better Soil and Environment

  • Eliminates nitrogen leaching and reduces potent N2O greenhouse gas emissions
  • Reduces soil compaction with a 150-pound lightweight robot
  • Increases organic carbon and microbial activity

FAQ's

By delivering fertilizer directly to the plant roots on demand, our robots ensure maximum uptake, reducing waste and environmental impact.

We also leverage multiple sources of existing data (including satellite data, yield maps and swat maps) in combination with our own data autonomously collected from ground level. This data is continuously processed through advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to determine when and how much of the fertilizer needs to be applied on a per plant basis.

Yes, our scalable solution works for any farm size, from small family-run farms to large agricultural operations. For larger fields, multiple robots can be used together to cover more area.
Our cost structure is designed for a return on investment in less than a year, making it an economically viable option for farmers.
