Company Summary

We seek to accelerate adoption of sustainable ag practices and maximize farm profits through non-chemical, directed energy (DE) solutions. We currently have consumer use DE weed control products selling online and in big-box retailers. Our next product, the WDSD, addresses the challenge of herbicide-resistant weeds in grain crops. The WDSD quickly attaches to combine harvesters and applies DE to weed seeds making them nonviable without chemicals.
