AgriHouse awarded exclusive licensing for leaf sensor technology

BERTHOUD – AgriHouse Inc. has been awarded an exclusive license from the University of Colorado in Boulder for leaf sensor technology designed to reduce water use and the costs associated with raising leafy crops.

“This gives us the exclusive marketing, sales and manufacturing rights for North America,´ said Richard Stoner, AgriHouse’s founder and president.

The Berthoud-based biotech company’s first product — the SG-1000 Leaf Sensor and Precision Irrigation Control Software — became commercially available in the fourth quarter of last year. The sensor provides continuous information on moisture content and nutrient need of the plant to which it is attached.
