Problem
Farmers often rely on manual or imprecise tillage equipment for row‑level cultivation, leading to excessive labor, inconsistent soil aeration, and suboptimal weed control, which reduces crop yields and increases production costs.
Solution
Pomasa offers an AI‑enabled row‑over cultivator that autonomously detects plant rows and performs precise soil loosening and weed management. High‑speed industrial cameras capture detailed images of the field, which are processed in real time by proprietary computer‑vision algorithms to classify crop versus weed and adjust the cultivator’s depth and speed. The system operates fully automatically, eliminating the need for operator intervention and reducing labor requirements. Integrated data collection provides actionable reports on field conditions, enabling growers to make informed decisions that improve resource efficiency and crop quality.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial vegetable and row‑crop producers seeking to increase field efficiency, as well as agricultural service providers that outfit tractors with precision cultivation equipment.
