Our Mission

Australia's unique and precious biodiversity is being threatened by invasive plant species. They also wreak havoc on the agricultural industry. Its little surprise then Australia spends more than four billion dollars a year tackling weeds. Besides recent advancements in broad acre cropping managing weeds can take one of two forms. Spray a whole area which is costly and environmentally disastrous or selectively spray or otherwise remove them. Selectively targeting weeds, while much better for the environment is hugely time consuming and often results in areas being missed. Selective control either relies on teams traipsing back and forth and looking for them or weed maps and treatment plans created by experts doing the traipsing. We are working on a better way.

With Dragonfly AI, survey data from drones can be used to produce maps of an area complete with plants pinpointed, labelled and grouped according to species. Various maps can then be generated to show all species or filtered to only display or highlight the presence of certain varieties. While the system is still in development, you could be eligible for a free one hectare trial map produced for your property. Click or tap the get in touch button to send us an enquiry by email.
