Agritech in 2026: Acquisitions Replace Fundraising

In 2026, the Agritech sector experiences a wave of consolidation marked by ten strategic acquisitions in May, with no bankruptcies. This trend results from a funding correction that began in 2022, where established companies seek to integrate proven technologies to accelerate their development. The acquisition of Bluewhite by Elbit Systems highlights the growing importance of agricultural autonomy, seen as essential technology by defense players. Meanwhile, the number of commercial partnerships is increasing, signaling greater integration in the sector.

Agricultural Drones: A Study Identifies Optimal Flight Speeds to Enhance Spraying Efficiency in Rice Fields

A recent study highlights the impact of the airflow generated by plant protection drones on pesticide application in rice fields. By employing innovative techniques such as aerial photography and machine vision, researchers analyzed the disturbances in the rice canopy caused by the rotors. The findings indicate that optimal flight speeds of 3 to 4 m/s allow for better droplet deposition efficiency, while higher speeds lead to losses in effectiveness.

An RNA Spray Against Potato Blight Recognized Among Sweden's Most Promising Agricultural Innovations

An innovative RNA-based spray targeting potato blight has been included in the IVA (Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences) list of high-potential projects for sustainable agriculture. This development could revolutionize crop protection by reducing economic losses from this disease, estimated at over five billion euros annually in Europe, while adhering to new environmental regulations. Greenhouse trials show a reduction in infections by up to 70%, with no negative impact on plant growth, paving the way for field trials and upcoming commercialization.
