AI for Farmers: PerPlant Raises €1M in Funding
PerPlant has raised €1 million to develop its AI system for precision field spraying. A camera mounts on the roof of a tractor, analyzes plantings in real time and determines where treatment is needed. This lets farmers save on agrochemicals and pesticides. The startup has already mapped 200,000 hectares of European farmland, 9 times more than all Danish agricultural drones combined.

Danish startup PerPlant, which uses a neural network for precision field spraying, has raised €1 million from Scandinavian funds to expand its AI camera system.
How does the neural network in the PerPlant system work?
A camera on the tractor roof looks at the plants, the neural network decides where treatment is needed, and the tractor switches on its nozzles only in those spots.
How much money did PerPlant raise?
€1 million from Scandinavian funds to expand its AI camera system.
How does the neural network help spray fields more precisely?
A camera on the tractor roof looks at the plants, the neural network decides where treatment is needed, and the nozzles switch on only in those spots, instead of spraying the entire field.
