AgriSound launches timely pollination monitor at REAP 2021

Targeted pollination can double the yield of soft fruit and increase the quality of the produce. To enable farmers to increase pollinator levels, AgriSound is launching an insect listening device called POLY, which displays a heat-map on a smartphone to show insect activity. It highlights pollination deficits on-farm as well as providing proof that interventions increase ecosystem services. 
Casey Woodward, CEO of AgriSound, presented in the REAP 2021 Start-Up Showcase. He says: “We would love to meet people that have a genuine interest in getting pollination right and want to be working with us as early adopters.  
“Once you have the ability to tell the difference between species of insects, you can then monitor biodiversity, which will provide evidence of natural capital assets.  
“We’d like to talk to farmers and growers about their challenges and find out how to use our data in new ways.”
