We're building this from Rajasthan, for growers like the ones around us
SoilBotix started with a simple observation: polyhouse growers were losing crop to pests they couldn't see coming, and the tools built to catch that were made for farms unlike the ones here.
Put early warning in reach of every polyhouse, not just the largest ones
Most precision-agriculture tools are priced and designed for large commercial farms. Polyhouse growers in India are often running one to a few units on a tight margin — they need the same early warning, at a cost and simplicity that fits their operation.
We're building sensor-as-a-service rather than expensive hardware ownership, so a grower or an FPO can adopt it without a large upfront cost.
How we got here
A recurring problem in local polyhouse clusters
Conversations with growers around Jaipur surfaced the same pattern again and again: pest damage discovered too late, and spraying decisions made on guesswork rather than data.
Starting with polyhouse, not open-field
Polyhouses are a controlled, bounded environment — ideal for a first deployment, where pest behavior is more predictable and sensor placement is simpler than in open fields.
Building the first pilot units
We're building and field-testing the first camera trap nodes, with early pilot slots opening for growers in Rajasthan.
What guides how we build
Built for the grower who's actually farming
Every design choice gets tested against: would a working polyhouse grower actually use this, without training, on a bad-connectivity day?
Honest about what the model can do
We'd rather tell you our model handles three pests well today than claim it handles twenty and disappoint you in the field.
Priced for small operations
Sensor-as-a-service, not a large capital purchase — because that's what actually fits a one- or two-unit polyhouse operation.
Local first
We're starting with growers near us in Rajasthan before expanding, so every early lesson comes from a real deployment, not a lab.
