Today farmers rely on chemical pesticides to provide enough food for our growing population, but these chemicals are becoming less viable due to increasing regulatory pressure and chemical resistances. This is putting our food supply at risk. TRIC Robotics is helping farmers control pests and disease with an innovative alternative that is more effective and chemical-free. TRIC's automated platform, Luna carefully controls dosing of ultraviolet light to treat pests. Luna is offered to farmers as a pest control service and is already in use on nearly 100 acres along California's central coast. Using light, farmers achieve higher yields with fewer inputs while improving safety for field workers, providing healthier food for consumers, and causing less damage to the environment.
