Elemental Agronomy
Denver startup building ARGON, a solar-powered autonomous spray robot that targets weeds in row crops and fits in a pickup truck bed.
Elemental Agronomy is a US agricultural robotics company based in Denver, Colorado, that builds small autonomous robots for weed control in row crop fields. The company presents its offering as "Elemental Robotic Solutions" and received a FIRA USA startup award in 2024.
Its product is the ARGON Spray Rig, a solar-powered autonomous robot that detects weeds and sprays only the weeds it targets, which the company says cuts herbicide use by about 80 percent while keeping soil compaction low. According to the company, one robot can provide early-stage continuous weed management on up to 200 acres and can operate around the clock, with optional battery swaps that take about one minute. The robot is sized to fit in a standard pickup truck bed, is designed to be repaired by farmers, and uses a custom differential rocker suspension and proprietary spraying techniques for rough field conditions. Robots are managed remotely from a web browser or mobile device, collect soil and plant data during operation, and can be deployed as a single unit or expanded into a fleet.
The company targets farmers who want to adopt precision technology gradually and at lower cost. Customer testimonials come from sorghum and wheat growers in Kansas.
