About
Kitera IO is an Israeli startup developing a novel system for real-time monitoring of tree health and carbon sequestration, rooted in advanced sensing technology from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Our IoT multi-sensors collect high-resolution biological and environmental data from agricultural trees, detecting early signs of both abiotic and biotic stress. This data is processed through AI-powered scientific models to deliver actionable insights and support advanced phenotyping and agronomic decision-making.
