Up to 50% of the seeds planted in our greenhouses will never go on to become mature, yielding plants, due to issues like low germination or vigour, plant abnormalities, or seed-borne disease. Currently, growers must overplant in order to meet demand, as they simply have no way of predicting which seeds will be successful before planting. This results in millions of dollars in wasted water, fertilizer, energy, and other resources annually, per facility, spent trying to grow plants which are ultimately discarded.
Insporos addresses this problem by analyzing each individual seed with our AI platform, finding defective or diseased seeds and sorting them out before planting. This conserves valuable resources and improves efficiency in our greenhouses by allowing growers to focus their time and energy on growing quality, healthy plants, and providing greater security in crop yield and food supply.
