Jewish Business News By SupPlant (from website) SupPlant , an Israeli agtech startup that develops sensors that can send signals from plants, extended its Series C funding round on Wednesday led by Red Dot Capital Partners, adding another $10,825,000 to its initial $27 million raise for a total of almost $38 million. This brings the total amount of investments raised by the company to date to more than $57 million. Israel Startup Nation is big on agtech. For example, last September Taranis, an Israeli agtech startup that offers a crop intelligence platform , raised $40 million in a Series D funding round led by Inven Capital, a European climate tech fund. The round brought Taranis’ total funding raised to date to $100 million. Also last year, CropX Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli agtech company, launched a new capability for its farm management system. The company says that this first-of-its-kind capability continuously tracks the movement of nitrogen and salts in the soil. CropX boasts that its solution is easier, less time-consuming and able to supply continuous monitoring of nitrogen leaching events than traditional methods of lab testing.

Founded in 2012, SupPlant says that by changing the basic concept of irrigation methods, and based on plants’ current necessities, its unique technology is proven to save water on global scale while improving productivity and yields. The system uses an advanced algorithm that analyzes live data from plants, soil, and meteorology sensors, and translates it into irrigation recommendations and actionable insights. SupPlant has developed sensor-free irrigation suggestions. A system that is extremely low-cost weather forecasts and crop stress alarms, in addition to AI-enabled agronomic counseling, to help smallholder farmers become more resilient to climate change and avoid crop failure. Unfortunately, plants are sensitive; even brief periods of high stress can result in the death of a whole harvest. “We deeply appreciate the trust of our existing investors and welcome the new investors to a unique journey of enhancing global food security by providing farmers with the best tools to handle water scarcity,” said Ori Ben Ner, CEO of SupPlant. “We are strongly committed to our short and long-term business targets, and the new funds will help us translate plants to more farmers.” In the fall of 2021, SupPlant teamed with PlantVillage, a Penn State University initiative, to reach 500,000 smallholder maize farmers, the majority of whom are women in Bungoma and Busia.

Compare SupPlant to Competitors
Phytech is a Precision Ag analytics company, focused on helping farmers to optimize yields by transforming real-time plant data into actionable, yield-enhancing recommendations. Phytechs' proprietary PlantBeat platform combines continuous plant monitoring hardware, spatial imaging, hyper-local climate information, agronomic modeling, data analysis and web and mobile software applications to help farmers make in-season operating decisions.
Sentek Technologies offer soil probes and advanced software to help monitor soil moisture, soil salinity, and soil temperature. Sentek’s brands include the flagship EnviroSCAN probe, offering continuous monitoring, the slimline, easy to install Drill & Drop probe, and the Diviner 2000 for portable monitoring. The high resolution data are retrieved via a range of data capture and telemetry options and displayed in the acclaimed IrriMAX soil water management software, and web-based IrriMAX Live software.
Arable helps companies in agriculture to optimize decisions and understand crop outcomes through real-time data. The company’s integrated hardware, agronomic modeling, and software suite enable farmers, agronomists, researchers, processors, and food companies to understand the crop system at the plant, field, and regional level, which helps to reduce risk, improve productivity, and optimize for sustainability. It was formerly known as PulsePod Designs. Arable was founded in 2014 and is based in San Francisco, California.
Athena IR-Tech is a developer of monitoring technology. The company's technology continuously monitors the surface temperature of any irrigated plant canopy. It is based on non-contact infrared temperature sensing and crop water status and calculates, using a crop-specific proprietary algorithm, the optimal irrigation to maximize water use efficiency while not compromising yield or quality. It was founded in 2017 and is based in Clovelly Park, Australia.
Agrihouse is a company that received a STTR Phase I grant for a project entitled: Precision Plant Irrigation Control Utilizing Leaf Thickness Sensor Technology. Their research project will develop an innovative method that enables reliable feedback for plant irrigation control by direct detection of impending water deficit stress (WDS) in plants. This technology indicates water deficit stress of living plants by measuring the thickness of leaves, which decreases dramatically at the onset of leaf dehydration. The proposed method overcomes the obstacle of traditional methods for determining the thickness of living plant leaves, measuring leaf thickness non-destructively, gently, reliably, conveniently, with high resolution, and in real-time. This novel real-time leaf sensor technology is non-destructive to the plants and can be used on a wide number of species. The proposed leaf sensor can easily be miniaturized and automated without hindering plant cycles. It combines concepts of engineering and plant physiology while employing recent technological advances in electronics and information technologies. Early detection of impending water deficit stress in plants may be used as an input parameter for precision irrigation control, a strategy which has the potential to preserve enormous amounts of precious freshwater while ensuring successful plant cultivation and crop yield optimization. Such a device may find commercial applications in agricultural sectors or the greenhouse industry. The research would develop this novel method into a sensor that is applicable reliably, conveniently, and permanently under field conditions. This research implements this novel real-time leaf sensor-technology into an automated irrigation system as a proof-of-concept demonstration, and evaluates its performance in terms of reliable plant cultivation and its potential for water conservation under realistic farming conditions.
ConstelIR is a thermal satellite data company that develops thermal infrared imaging sensors. It develops imaging technology to assess vegetation, soil health, and industrial monitoring. The company was founded in 2019 and is based in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
