About
Agrint has developed a sensing technology for the early detection of infestation threats in trees. The company's IoTree technology is based on sensors that provide early detection of pest activity regardless of the size of the tree or larvae. The company has adapted its sensor to detect the red palm weevil, an insect causing catastrophic damage to palm trees worldwide. With Agrint's solution, each tree is outfitted with a durable, energy-efficient sensor that can detect the activity of red palm weevil larvae. The sensor is highly sensitive to the slightest movement of the larvae, even in their early stages of development, and sophisticated enough to filter out other noises that could lead to false alarms. The sensors continuously measure and transmit the infestation status of every tree, with all of the gathered data stored on the Agrint platform, creating a constantly evolving trend analysis of the pests' behavioral patterns. Agrint has its headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, and an R&D center in Israel.
