Soil moisture mapping for Smart Irrigation, Golf, and Harvest Timing. Commercializing passive microwave sensing tech.
TerraRad Tech AG is a Swiss startup operating in the SaaS and sustainability sectors. Established in 2020, the company specializes in developing remote soil moisture measurement systems leveraging advanced microwave radiometer technology. Utilizing drone-based radiometers, TerraRad Tech produces high-resolution soil moisture maps, enabling precise irrigation prescriptions for smart farming applications, a capability that ultimately minimizes crop stress and enhances yield.
The proprietary L-band microwave radiometers utilized by TerraRad Tech can penetrate vegetation and gauge sub-surface soil moisture near the root-zone of crops. These radiometers also find application in research activities such as algorithm development, satellite data down-scaling, and ground validation.
In December 2022, the company secured a Fr.100.00K convertible note investment from Zürcher Kantonal Bank, indicating continued investor interest and support in the innovation and commercialization efforts of TerraRad Tech.
