Plantimate aims to eliminate the need for pesticides. However on the larger scale pesticides can still be necessary evil so check out some inspirational work being done by Agrospheres in reducing the impact of these pesticides in the growing process!
AgroSpheres aims to solve these problems. Developed by University of Virginia students Zach Davis, Joseph Frank, Payam Pourtaheri, Ameer Shakeel and Sepher Zomorodi, AgroSpheres is an enzyme delivery system that allows farmers to degrade pesticides on their crops in a matter of hours instead of days. Soon the startup will also be able to protect crops from frost damage.
