Greeneye Precision Spraying System by Greeneye Technology: status and timeline

Milestones

No announced next step

Crop-weed misclassification in dense seedlingsEarly-season or densely planted crops can resemble weeds; the AI must learn regional crop varieties and phenology to minimize false negatives.
Residual herbicide integrationGreeneye today excels with non-residual post-emergent products. Soil-applied residual herbicides require new formulations and spraying strategies.
Adoption in commodity cropsROI must appear within 1–2 seasons to justify kit cost against chemical savings.

Weather and light dependentCamera-based vision degrades in rain, fog and low light. Early morning (dew, shadow) and overcast days reduce detection accuracy.
Speed trade-offAt high ground speeds, the system must process frames faster. Very fast application (8–10 mph) leaves less time for the AI to decide and trigger solenoids.
Herbicide chemistry limits selective useSome broadleaf herbicides are non-selective and kill everything; only certain chemicals can be selectively applied. Farmers may be limited to narrower options.

Real-time vision

Cameras on boom nozzles capture plants at high speed; AI classifies weeds to species level and identifies crop rows, all while the sprayer moves.

Solenoid control

Each boom nozzle has a solenoid valve controlled by the AI. Only nozzles over detected weeds open; others stay closed.

Chemical savings

By spraying only weeds, farmers use a fraction of the chemical. Cost drops 50%+, and runoff/environmental impact falls sharply.

Greeneye Technology

Precision spraying, AI weed detection, herbicide reduction

Israeli AI startup (founded 2017) for precision spraying. Cuts herbicide use 65–92% via AI weed detection. $29M raised in seed and Series A rounds.

Greeneye's AI system reduces non-residual herbicide use, typically by 65–92% compared to broadcast spraying, while cutting costs.
The company raised a Series A of $22M in 2022 to launch commercial operations in North America across corn and soybean crops.
The system retrofits existing boom sprayers, allowing farmers to reduce chemical use and costs without major equipment changes.
