PRISM has been developed to provide protected crop growers with an algorithm / sensor-based technology to predict pesticide breakdown rates in real-time.
About
Our company, PRISM Works Technologies, revolutionises maximum (pesticide) residue level (MRL) management in global horticulture with our innovative algorithm-based technology.
Through our user-friendly app, PRISM updates its MRL forecasts in real-time, empowering crop growers worldwide, promoting safe pesticide management and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Key Benefits
PRISMs innovative solution promises to offer several environmental and commercial benefits.
PRISM will be transformative, helping growers reduce MRL failure risk (legal and/or supply chain) and associated financial losses, help growers consistently meet supplier contracts, residue global supply chain inefficiencies and food waste, reduce crop input waste and consumer costs
Applications
Around 95-99% of protected crop growers globally rely on chemical pesticides, raising concerns about consumer exposure to residues, particularly in the $31.7 billion U.S. horticultural industry.
Pesticides take longer to break down in controlled environments, leading to Maximum Residue Level (MRL) failures and resulting in crop scrappage and financial losses. EU MRL failure rates are currently between 1.6-3.7% annually, and are expected to rise in the future as retailers set more stringent MRLs to meet consumer demands.
There is a pressing need for technology providing accurate, near real-time pesticide breakdown forecasts for all crops in protected environments.
Our developed PRISM technology aims to fulfill this critical market opportunity by enhancing efficiency and reducing waste.
