Control fungal diseases like powdery mildew without chemicals using autonomous UV-C light treatment for vineyards and strawberry farms.

For farm managers and growers tired of the chemical treadmill and rising labor costs, Saga Robotics offers a field-proven, autonomous alternative. The Thorvald robot uses UV-C light—not fungicides—to control powdery mildew, a critical issue in viticulture and strawberry cultivation. The proof is in the results from commercial farms: growers report a 70-100% reduction in pesticide use. One farm manager for L.M. Porter noted a "15 per cent rise in production due to lower mildew levels." Another at Bien Nacido vineyards stated the fruit was the "cleanest they’ve ever seen." Beyond treatment, Thorvald is your eyes in the field. As it works, its integrated cameras scan every row, delivering accurate, farm-wide flower and fruit counts every four days. This dual-functionality provides immense value, combining disease control with yield forecasting data without any extra equipment or labor. With over 300,000 km driven autonomously on real farms and a proven ability to create tangible value, Thorvald is a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective investment in the future of precision agriculture.
