In the world of agriculture, pistachio growers face a number of challenges when it comes to pollination. One such challenge is the lack of synchronization between male and female trees, which can lead to lower yields. Another issue is the low rate of pollination, which can be exacerbated by extreme weather changes during the flowering season. Additionally, young male trees may not produce enough pollen to support fertilization, leading to reduced crop yields.
To address these challenges, Eidit has developed a precision pollination solution based on its 2Be® model pollination machine. This machine disperses high-quality pure pollen, carried by the wind to flowers on female trees at just the right time. By ensuring that the flowers of male and female trees bloom simultaneously and that enough pollen is produced by young male trees, Eidit’s solution helps growers increase their yields and reduce risks.
In 2023, Eidit’s precise pollination services led to an impressive 19% increase in California’s pistachio crop production. The company, founded in 2016 and located in Basmat Tivon and Paso Robles, California, provides precision pollination services to pistachio and almond growers around the world. With over $15 million in funding raised and a team of 15 employees dedicated to advancing agriculture through technology, Eidit Technologies Precision Agriculture is making strides in sustainable food growth.
Eidit’s technology has attracted interest from investors both domestically and internationally, including six kibbutzim – cooperative settlements – as well as private investors who recognize the potential for this innovative solution to revolutionize agricultural practices worldwide. As Idit continues to push boundaries in precision agriculture and high-quality pollination services, it remains committed to driving advancements in sustainable food production for years to come.
