We are excited to share that we’ve entered into a strategic partnership with Wabash Heartland Innovation Network (WHIN), a non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the adoption of digital agriculture and next-gen manufacturing in Indiana. With this partnership, WHIN’s Agriculture Alliance members are participating in our RealCoverage lease-to-own program, and our units will be deployed to optimize a variety of foliar chemistries starting this summer all over Indiana.

"We found that even though farms have been spraying synthetic pesticides at a large scale for 80 years, no one knew how much of what was sprayed got to and stayed on the plant." – our CEO Vishnu Jayaprakash told the The Cool Down. Read more about how AgZen is taking the blindfold off when it comes to spraying and allowing everyone in farming to optimize every droplet that gets sprayed. https://lnkd.in/eDYA6GvB #AI #agriculture #agtech #precisionagriculture #sustainability
New AI-powered system could revolutionize the way farmers grow and monitor their crops: 'We are taking the blindfold off'

Thank you for the spotlight, Greentown Labs, and all the help over the years in getting us to where we are! Feedback-optimized spraying is helping growers maximize the value of every droplet they spray, and we can't wait to fundamentally change what spraying looks like for growers and operators across the world. 40,000 acres of row crops and counting in 2024 already! #agtech #precisionagriculture #agriculture #sustainability
Today, 41 percent of U.S. aquifers contain a detectable level of pesticides, and pesticide pollution is associated with hundreds of millions of acute illnesses annually. On top of that, pesticides are expensive: growers spend roughly $60B on pesticides annually, and these chemicals can account for up to 30 percent of some crops’ production costs. AgZen is enabling farmers to cut pesticide usage by 30-50% with its technology, which uses AI to provide insights into how to reduce the amount of chemicals that farmers need to spray to achieve their target outcomes. The startup, which is building its product in our Somerville prototyping lab, conducted 12 major pilots in 2023 and is turning its sights to a Series A raise, leasing its technology commercially on thousands of acres, and running a project with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
