🌱 This AI Can Read Plants’ Signals — Startup Raises $11.2 Million to Make It Happen
What if farmers could detect a plant’s stress before its leaves begin to wilt?
Startup Electric Plant is developing technology designed to do just that. The company has raised $11.2 million in seed funding to bring its AI-powered plant-monitoring system to market.
Its AI model, called Bombadil, analyses tiny electrical signals produced within living plant tissue and turns them into information about the plant’s physiological condition. The aim is to help growers understand when plants may need water, nutrients or other attention. <escape>(TechCrunch)</escape>
