TS Agro
TS Agro designs and manufactures precision plot seeders, sprayers, and tool carriers for small-plot agronomic field trials. The equipment enables a single field scientist to conduct seeding, spraying, and mechanical weed control operations with automated GPS steering, reducing labor costs and pesticide exposure. The next-generation sprayer is being developed as a fully electric, autonomous platform controlled remotely by the operator.

Problem
Field trial research for crop varieties, pesticides, and fertilizers relies on manual or semi-automated equipment that often requires multiple trained operators and exposes staff to pesticide contamination. This reduces testing efficiency, increases labor costs, and creates safety risks for field scientists conducting registration trials.
Solution
TS Agro provides precision plot seeders, sprayers, and tool carriers engineered specifically for small-plot agronomic research. The Precision Plot Seeder accommodates plots from 3 to 12 meters in length with 1.25-meter width, using Rotech and Twintech seeding discs with compaction wheels to replicate best farmer practice. The Precision Plot Sprayer is being developed as an autonomous, fully electric platform controlled remotely by a field scientist, eliminating operator exposure to pesticides while supporting up to 24 treatments in 4 replicated trials. A modular tool carrier extends the platform's utility to mechanical weed control, fertilizer application, and other field-testing operations, with GPS steering and speed control calibrated to field conditions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are contract research organizations (CROs), official research institutes, and authorized contractor companies conducting GEP-compliant field registration trials across Europe, particularly in Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, and Sweden.
