"Need for weed control growing as world's population increases. Herbicide market under significant pressure because 1) weeds are increasingly becoming resistant to herbicides, 2) regulators have started to ban their use because of health and environmental concerns, and 3) costs of litigation against herbicide manufacturers are increasing.Electricity is a scalable and sustainable alternative to herbicides and addresses the fundamental shortcomings of herbicides, thermal, and mechanical methods.This project will create prototype weeding solutions for new crop types."

“随着世界人口的增加，对杂草控制的需求也越来越大。除草剂市场面临巨大压力，因为1）杂草越来越对除草剂产生抗药性，2）监管机构出于健康和环境考虑已开始禁止使用除草剂，3）针对除草剂制造商的诉讼成本正在增加。电力是除草剂的可扩展和可持续替代品，解决了除草剂，热，该项目将为新的作物类型创建原型除草解决方案。"
