Kubota’s €6.5m wager on a single drop: why vegetable weeding is becoming a software problem - Agtech Industry Examiner
On Feb. 18, 2026, Norwegian agtech startup Kilter disclosed a €6.5 million strategic investment from Kubota as it gears up […]
Saving water can be cheaper than building it. One analysis found ag conservation at ~$69.89/acre-foot vs >$2,000 for new supply—so funders now want telemetry-backed proof, not just pipes.

The ICOS ecosystem in smart agriculture
In modern agriculture, the seamless flow of data from edge devices to cloud-based platforms is fundamental to maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of robotic and technological interventions. Distributed processing, data transfer, connectivity, and security are integral components of this data-driven approach.
At the edge of the agricultural system, sensors, drones, and robotic devices collect vast amounts of data on soil health, crop conditions, weather patterns, and more. These edge devices often operate in remote areas with limited connectivity, necessitating onboard processing capabilities to analyze data in real-time and make immediate decisions. Edge computing minimizes latency and bandwidth requirements by processing data locally, enabling rapid response to changing conditions without relying on constant communication with centralized servers. However local processes are limited by device computational power.

The Role of Variable Rate Technology in Fertilizer Usage
Precision technologies such as variable rate fertilizer applications have been touted as solving production agricultural issues, increasing yields, and improving environmental stewardship. Variable rate technologies have been widely available on farms especially via custom service providers; however, utilization rates of these technologies remain relatively low. Low adoption rates indicate barriers to adoption and an opportunity for market expansion. The degree to which such technologies may reduce the demand for fertilizers will depend on VRT adoption rates.
Our paper addresses the questions regarding how long does it take to adopt #digitalag technologies.
