A farmer in a straw hat stands among wildflowers beside a clear creek where a heron wades. Across the water a driverless tractor carries a spray boom over a healthy crop, with a single nozzle spraying.

Impact

Spray the weed. Spare the field.

Good land deserves good aim.

Food systems produce about a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.1 Our models put chemical and fertilizer only where a plant needs them.

The numbers

Posted at the gate.

83%

Less pesticide

Achieved with precision spraying

65%

Less fertilizer

Target of our variable-ratio research

1/3

Of global emissions

The share that comes from food systems

A farmer pours one small can of concentrate into the brass tank of a boom sprayer. Behind him a stack of chemical drums sits unused under a dusty tarp.

Pesticides

83% less pesticide, with the weeds still gone.

Broadcast spraying treats a whole field for the weeds in a fraction of it. Our models find each weed and spray only that plant.

We have lowered pesticide use by 83% this way. The same species-level perception now drives our ground sprayer research.

Sprayer research

Fertilizer

Feed the plant that needs it.

Our variable-ratio fertilizer research targets a 65% reduction in fertilizer applied.

A hyper-precise sprayer applies foliar nutrients in the ratio each part of the field calls for. Soil sampling becomes a prescription the machine can follow plant by plant.

A farmer kneels in a young crop and pushes a brass soil probe into the ground beside a crate of sample jars. A cable runs to a suitcase instrument of glowing tubes that plots a map of the field on paper.
A woman agronomist in a straw hat crouches in a soybean field and studies a tall waterhemp plant through a brass magnifying instrument fitted with a dial gauge. A kochia plant grows behind it.

Herbicide resistance

Resistant weeds are a food security problem.

Kochia and waterhemp have evolved resistance to the herbicides farmers rely on most. Every season the list of chemistry that still works gets shorter.

Our models detect resistant strains at the species level. A see-and-spray system then applies higher-group herbicides to those plants alone, which protects the crop and preserves the chemistry.

Water

Every drop accounted for.

Water management is on our research bench now.

Maya already brings weather, soil, and field records into one place. Our water research builds on that whole-farm picture, so each decision about water draws on everything the farm knows.

Less chemical on the land. Less nutrient in the creek.
