How TRIC Robotics is Using UV Light to Cut Down Pesticide Use on Strawberries

TRIC Robotics has developed innovative tractor-sized robots that aim to protect strawberry plants while reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Recently, the company secured $5.5 million in initial funding to further their mission. These robots use ultraviolet (UV) light to target and eliminate harmful bacteria and pests, providing a more natural and environmentally friendly way to keep strawberries healthy.
By using these advanced robots, farmers can minimize their reliance on traditional pesticides, which can have negative effects on both the environment and human health. This technology not only helps in producing cleaner strawberries but also supports sustainable farming practices. As TRIC Robotics continues to grow and improve its solutions, it could change the way strawberries are cultivated, making them safer for consumers and better for our planet.
