Farms worldwide spend over $60 billion annually on pesticides—and much of it is wasted. Traditional spray schedules often rely on outdated rules of thumb, leading to overuse, rising costs, and serious environmental risks.
But with the right external data and precision analytics, farmers can reduce pesticide usage while actually improving yields and sustainability.
🧪 In fact, MIT spinoff AgZen’s technology has proven it’s possible: real-time spray optimization cut chemical use by over 50% while improving pest control.
Why External Data Matters for Smarter Spraying
✅ Minimize pesticide waste and reduce costs
✅ Target pests precisely—when and where they’re active
✅ Avoid spraying pesticide-resistant species
✅ Improve environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance
✅ Maximize crop health and yield potential
How It Works
🔹 Predict pest outbreaks using weather, crop, and environmental data
🔹 Optimize spray timing and dosage based on growth stage, temperature, wind, and humidity
🔹 Use drones, cameras, and computer vision to detect pest activity in real time
🔹 Apply only what’s needed—with precision—and nothing more
