Azaneo was born from countless conversations with farmers across Australia and around the world, each one sharing the same challenge: their toolbox for controlling weeds keeps shrinking.
For decades, herbicides have been the only truly scalable solution, but the core technology hasn’t changed in over 60 years. With major advances in power electronics and a growing urgency for more sustainable, cost-effective weed control, we saw an opportunity to do things differently.
Azaneo is leading the application of the well-established technique of electroporation for use in agriculture.
Electroporation is a proven method used in medicine and food processing to destroy cells—but it has never been applied to weed control in the field.
Azaneo is changing that.
By delivering a precisely controlled high-voltage pulse:
Microscopic pores form in plant cell membranes
Cellular function is disrupted, leading to rapid and irreversible cell death
No chemicals, heat, or mechanical damage are involved
High-voltage pulse generation for reliable, energy-efficient weed elimination.
Optimised electrodes for targeted weed control in any crop.
Proprietary control algorithms that deliver the fastest and most efficient treatments, tailored to any weed in any environment.
