Mission

Reducing excessive pesticide use and increasing crop yield by early fungus detection.

The challenge

An excessive and unnecessary amount of preventative pesticides are currently used in the agricultural industry. Associated with this are negative environmental and health consequences, alongside financial losses.

The solution

Develop a product that incorporates machine learning and sensor technology to precisely detect harmful spore presence. Early detection enables the smart use of pesticides in a localised setting rather than pre-emptively spraying the whole crop.
