Traditional weed control methods can be a time-consuming and inefficient process. North Carolina State University researchers have designed an AI-powered machine to precisely detect different weed species in order to reduce labor and chemical inputs. https://lnkd.in/e45p_Z_Y

We create crops that can communicate their needs
About us
InnerPlant gives plants a voice via technology that enables crops to communicate what they need. Our crops signal optically if they need more Nitrogen, are attacked by pathogens or insects. Our easy to collect signals can be picked up from field equipment and all the way up to satellites in space. InnerPlant is creating a new data source for the agriculture ecosystem. Enabling efficient cost effective monitoring of large scale crops like soybeans and corn and plant by plant management from field equipment. Driving up to 20% higher yields, while reducing inputs by over 30%. The future of farming is more efficient, more resilient, and more sustainable.
