About
WeedOUT is the developer of a proprietary product made with natural ingredients for the eradication of resistant weeds. The companys goal is to reduce the need for toxic herbicides and higher herbicide doses. WeedOUTs technology is based on the development of a special weed pollen, applied via artificial pollination, that leads to weed seed abortion, effectively blocking the next generation of viable weed seeds. WeedOUT won the Best Israeli Agtech Company Competition at the AgriVest 2018 conference.
