Their product, EnhanceCoverage, increases droplet adhesion to plant surfaces, resulting in better coverage and less chemical runoff. The RealCoverage optimization system measures and optimizes droplet coverage in real-time, leading to significant cost savings for farmers. The company aims to lease these systems at a large scale, potentially saving farmers billions of dollars on chemical costs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
