TechnologyUsing bio-inspired sensing methods (from bats) for crop estimation, plant examination and plant classification. The system is based on a mobile robotic platform with vision and sonar sensing that is doing the agricultural tests.The Need... Read More >
Aquaculture is the globe’s fastest growing food production sector. Diseases are a primary constraint to the culture of many aquatic species and as a result, there is widespread use of anti-microbial veterinary medicines across the globe. The... Read More >
The Need Global population growth together with enhanced quality of life, in the era of climate change, is expected to cause doubling of the world’s food and energy demand by 2050. Furthermore, there is a strong interest in the replacement... Read More >
Plastic pollution has become the most pressing environmental issue, and biodegradable solutions are a promising alternative. Unfortunately, most plastic alternatives are difficult to upscale and require the cultivation of the process substrate. Due... Read More >
BackgroundRusts are a group of plant diseases that are caused by certain types of plant pathogenic fungi. Three types of rust diseases, namely leaf, stem and stripe rusts, are the most widespread diseases of wheat, each causing great yield losses... Read More >
The Technology Root phenotypic plasticity is a major factor allowing plants to adapt to their ever changing environment. Although this fundamental issue is of great agricultural importance, studying root plasticity is highly complex due to their... Read More >
Enhancing crop productivity by optimizing gene expression in plants, using proprietary and proven computational tools, together with genome base editing capabilities. Tapping into gene expression for improved crop UNMET NEEDCrop... Read More >
Most marine fish hatch from mm-size eggs irrespective of adult size, and suffer prodigious mortality (rates of 70-90% of the brood) in the first weeks of their lives. This mortality makes the rearing of larval (very young) fish costly, and an... Read More >
