Overview:
This organization is seeking agriculture pest control solutions. They are particularly interested in biological and biochemical pesticides, AI-driven monitoring and sensors, and precision control systems targeting insects, weeds, plant diseases, and rodents.
Requirements:
- Strong scientific evidence of efficacy and points of difference versus existing products/technologies
- Ownability of products/technologies driven by patents, regulatory approvals, supply agreements, etc.
- Openness to strategic investment
- Evidence to indicate sustainable and financial benefit to farmers
- Commercially available products/technology with some demonstration of commercial traction.
Â
Possible Solution Areas:
In scope:
- Pesticides including products or technologies aimed at insects, weeds, plant diseases, and rodents. These could include
- Biochemical or Microbial pesticides (natural oils/extracts, pheromones, peptides, RNAi, bacteria, and others)
- Conventional pesticides
- Traps and devices
- Sensors, IoT, and AI
Out of Scope:
- Livestock pest control
- Seed tech and plant genetics (plant incorporated protectants)
- Fertilizers
- Tech to apply pesticide (tractors and drones)
- Visual crop management (satellite and drone imagery)
- Prospects exclusively using satellites and drones to make precision pest recommendations
