Revolutionising Pesticide Risk Management in Global Horticulture
Soterra Labs are the business behind PRISM App; a first of a kind mobile app and algorithm-based technology uniquely capable of accurately predicting the breakdown rates of commercial pesticides, to any legal, or individual grower set, Maximum Residue Level (MRL).
Revolutionary MRL Prediction Technology
PRISM is a first of a kind algorithm-based technology uniquely capable of accurately predicting the breakdown rates of commercial pesticides, to any legal, or individual grower set, Maximum Residue Level (MRL). This enables PRISM to help protected crop growers around the world reduce MRL failure risks, via an easy-to-use App based service.
But PRISM is capable of far more than making a simple, one-off prediction for how quickly your crop will reach your required MRL. Once you've informed PRISM that a pesticide product has been applied to your crop, its algorithms immediately start to build an accurate, hyper-local and continuous model of conditions at your location.
This allows PRISM to respond to changing conditions at your location and effectively recalculate your crops MRL status on a minute-by-minute basis. The App then alerts you to any significant changes in the time it will take to meet your specified MRL.
Our aim for PRISM is to significantly reduce grower MRL business risk, contribute to improvements in supply chain efficiency and reduce food waste. Our team are working hard to deliver PRISM to the global industry in 2026.
