Growers seeking to fine-tune their fertilizer programs just got a new ally with fresh capital. Picketa Systems, which offers real-time plant tissue sampling for rapid nutrient analysis, has closed a $2.1M Seed funding round. The investment will bolster its platform designed to give farmers and agri-businesses instant insights into crop health.
Picketa's online platform informs users of nutrient deficiencies, allows agronomists to tailor critical levels, and provides a comprehensive overview of crop needs via web and mobile applications. The round drew support from a diverse group of investors, including Tall Grass Ventures, BDC Seed Fund, Verdex Capital, Skull, Diamond, and Heart Capital, LLC, New Brunswick Innovation Foundation, Koan Capital Corp., and East Valley Ventures.
